EN: to wade; to splash around lightly
That cute thing kids (and kids-at-heart) do at the beach, just dipping their feet in the shallow part and making little splashes. It's not a full-on swimming commitment; it's the 'testing the waters' phase of a relationship, but with actual water.
Implies shallow water and gentle splashing, not vigorous swimming. Often used interchangeably with 'tampisaw'.
