Nothing except cause the pads/shoes to not stop the car very well for a few seconds until the water evaporates which happens very quickly.

It was recommended to me to apply the brakes while driving through a puddle because having the shoes or pads pressing against the drums or disc will help keep water out. Is this True?

No, that is not true. Water is going to get on the rotor and on the pads no matter what you do. This water will quickly evaporate once you apply the brakes. Even if you do not apply the brakes centrifugal force will remove the water as you drive. Once you apply the brakes the heat created will remove the water very quickly. You may experience a slight loss of good braking the first time you apply the brakes after going through water which is normal.

Can brake failure happen when your brakes are wet?

No, you will not have brake failure. However when the brakes are wet and you apply them, it takes a couple of seconds for the water on the pads and rotor to evaporate. During that time you do not have good braking. But the water itself will quickly dissipate due to the heat and friction of the brakes. Water does not damage a brake system.
