You have to script this , get the Y position of the water surface and get the players X and Z position , the spawn a particle effect that only expands outwards.

The particle must be one shot and have a lowish energy amount, try making a texture for the particle then tweak the Y settings of random and force and anything else turn of simulate in world space , make the ellipsoid oval-ish with a slim Z scale

In the script check if the player is in a trigger that you use for the water and instantiate a particle effect each half a second. ask if you need more help

Open up the BootCamp Demo and check out the WaterInteractions.js script

Spawn particles where your character intersects with the water plane.

This is not something "easy" to do, and requires some amount of skill. Fool around with particles until you get the desired effect, and then use some scripting to instantiate the splash there.
