splishes
Light water sounds
Splishes is the plural of splish, a light, small splash—the sound or action of something entering or moving through water with minimal force.
The word is playful and onomatopoeic, often paired with splashes: splish-splash, splishes and splashes in the bathtub.
Children's language favors it.
