splashing

Puddle-jumping sound effect

Splashing is the action of liquid striking a surface or being scattered, creating noise and spray.

Water splashes when you jump in a pool, when rain hits pavement, or when you go splashing through puddles.

To make a splash is to attract attention—splashing out money means spending conspicuously: They were splashing out on a new kitchen.
