Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Not to worry. If there is a cut, there will be bleeding.
2. Water would not cause a cut. Look for injuries.
3. If the incident repeats, get a PT, PTT and bleeding time to evaluate for possible hemostatic disorder. Single incident would not be. Check if the water is clean. Do not worry, it is a single incident.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
