splashed
Hit the water
Splashed is the past tense of splash—to scatter liquid in drops or cause liquid to fly about.
Water splashed when you jumped in the pool; you splashed water on your face.
Figuratively, something splashed across headlines received prominent, attention-grabbing coverage: The scandal was splashed across every newspaper.
