How far did you swim? Could it have reached the regulator???

If it is an external "tin can" type, it may need a clean out and a visit to an autoleccie to get it adjusted back up to spec.

If it is an internal one you may have fried it.

In either case you may have shorted out a diode in the rectifier pack (possible if it was salt water, or very brackish water).

It was good ole' toolangi mud/water.

i'd also go with it being reg related.
