It sure is a symbol:
Robertson: The saving by baptism in which Peter here mentions is only symbolic (a metaphor or picture as in Romans 6:2-6)

And the fact that no one is actually baptized here is a weak argument. You know it refers to water baptism and as such it refers to people being water baptized.
Get real.
