For land animals were transformed into water creatures, and creatures that swim moved over to the land: The first line can only refer to the Israelites and their livestock as they crossed over the Red Sea.

Good News Translation will be helpful to many translators as a model; Contemporary English Version is also with “Land animals became sea creatures, and sea creatures became land animals.”
