Spark plugs out, spin it on the starter to release any potential water in the cylinders, then drain the oil and refill then refit the spark plugs.

If it doesn't start then its probably beyond repair because water, like oil or any other fluid, isnt compressible so if it gets sucked in it usually results in bent conrods as the pistons rise. Take off the sump to check them.

Could also have popped the head gasket, how fast was the car traveling when it went into the water?
