The word baptize has no meaning about how a person gets fully wet.
G907
βαπτίζω
baptizō
bap-tid‘-zo
From a derivative of 911
to make whelmed (that is, fully wet); used only (in the New Testament) of ceremonial ablution, especially (technically) of the ordinance of Christian baptism: - baptist, baptize, wash.
