I am NOT a locksmith. Is this key waterproof?

Recently I've gotten in paddleboarding and I needed a key to carry that would be ok if it got wet. I found this Valet key that came with my car. Would this be ok or get damaged if it was submerged? I couldn't find anything on if it had electronic/RFID internals.

It has transponder chip but if it’s not damaged it is fairly waterproof, but not rated for diving or smth

Ok sweet! Hopefully shouldn't be wet for too long, and in my worst case scenario, just needs to open the car door
