Dumb move? Rode through deep water

Probably a dumb move I didn't think about until after I did it. I rode my 83 Trek 700 through water 6 inches deep very slowly for at least 50 yards. Couldn't pedal all the way through arc or wet feet. Did water get in my spoke nipples? Duh, what a dummy. Double wall wheels. Should I dismount my tires and take off spoke tape? I can envision water in the inner wall now waiting to corrode everything. Help.
