People cut their feet and swallow a mouthful of water while bathing in the sea every day without any untoward complications. The more you swim in the sea the better you become at avoiding doing that. Bowling Green is a long way from the sea and in the time it has taken to get home you have not ailed so the answer is "yes you are O.K."
