If you sucked in water then it "turned over once then stopped" you may have already killed it.
Hydrolock can very easily bend a rod.

Normally you would "Just take the plugs out" as others suggest however on this car to do that you need to lift the engine.
It would be easier to take out the DI injectors....

And if you even think you have water in the cylinders and you are tempted to just crank it, I would suggest this first:
Put the car in 5th gear ebrake off, and very gently push it.

If it turns over more than once you got the water out.
Cranking it with the starter can cause more damage than very gently pushing it in gear.
At least with my push to start button, I cant just "bump it"
