splishing
Light water disturbance
Splishing is the sound or action of light, playful water movement—smaller and more delicate than splashing.
It suggests gentle disturbance: The children were splishing around in the shallow end.
The word is onomatopoeic, evoking the soft, repetitive sounds of water being lightly disturbed.
Often paired with splashing for rhythmic effect: splishing and splashing in the tub.
