This is where most learners first meet the accusative of direction, and it is worth slowing down for. means in the water, already there; means into the water, arriving. The -n is doing the work that English does with two different prepositions, and the same rule applies to every preposition of place. The root also gives for watery, senakva for dry in the waterless sense, and for watering plants. Note that is a mass noun, so quantities take : .
