when it scoops up food in the water it takes in a lot of water too, but, unlike fish the water cannot pass out through the gills. so where does it go?

There is a flap at the back of the throat that keeps water from gushing in. A few chomps, and the prey is dead. The croc then semi-closes his jaw to release most of the water, and then the valve allows him to swallow.

The water runs out between the gaps in its teeth.
