Water-damaged AirPods may be beyond repair, depending on the extent of the damage. First, do not attempt to charge them. Dry them externally with a soft cloth, then place in a dry environment with good airflow for at least 48 hours. Avoid using heat sources or direct sunlight. If they don't resume normal function after drying, consulting an expert or the manufacturer might be necessary as internal components could be irreparably damaged.
