Pacific Swallow taking a bath

Photographed this last Saturday evening at a small lake near Raub here.
Initially I thought this bird was catching a fish, but when I checked the pictures later at home no food or fish found at the beak.
When I searched the web, than I knew that this swallow was taking a bath.
