Sound something makes while travelling through a liquid [closed]

Solution 1:

I think "swish" is the right onomatopoeic word for this. It is usually used for the sound of movement in air but it applies to water as well.

swish vb 1. to move with or make or cause to move with or make a whistling or hissing sound

swish sound of an object moving through air or water
