... where did the water come from?

I could be wrong, but I think the water came from the LAKE!
Seriously, take the position that it does not matter WHERE it came from, what matters is that you get her cleaned out, (you already did that) and get her running, ASAP.
And, as to your question,"where did the water come from?" These watercraft are SUPPOSED to be flipped back upright in ONE direction. If kids play on one, there can be a bit of water in the exhaust system, and if they managed to flip it the wrong way, (even partially) it can dump water BACKWARD down into the exhaust ports, and that could completely explain the problem, without any compromise of your system. Now, you said you "Sprayed CRC into cylinders". CRC is made in a number of flavors. Is this the one that dries everything? If so, I recommend that you use another flavor, that leaves a lubricant behind.
2 stroke motors get their lube along with the fuel. So, you did the right thing to remove the sparkers, and crank out the water. Then, add a bit of motor oil (or lubricating spray) to displace the water, and crank that over, and clean thing out a bit. Then, replace the plugs, and get her running asap. And, maybe be prepared to replace the spark plugs soon. They can foul during events like this one. So, if she does not start, have a set of fresh plugs handy.
I think you are probably in good shape on this one, even though it scared you. Getting water into a cold motor, then getting it out, and running fairly soon, is not too big of a deal. Getting water into a HOT motor is harder on everything.
I think you will get this one back just fine. :cheers: But, I would not let her sit for a week, before taking action.
