Pole Barn question

Started building my pole barn last weekend so that I can move the Triumphs 
out of the garage.  I dug 4 foot deep holes for the post with the intention 
of putting 6 inches of gravel in the bottom followed by a 6 inch pad of 
concrete on top of which I would place the poles.  Well, I found that the 
water table is at 3 foot.  The last foot of the holes filled with water.  So 
now my thoughts are to fill the hole up to the water with gravel and then the 
6 inches of concrete and follow with the pole.  Short of the matter is the 
poles will be at 30 inches instead of 36.  To all those that do this sort of 
thing, am I doing the right thing???  FYI I am in northern Ohio.
