   I think you mean the steeplechase.

   The event derived from equestrian steeplechase where there was normally always a water jump.

   To cool off their feet?

   this event is probably meant to imitate a cross country chase event but indoors, the water jump is there as a remnant of running across creeks etc.
   and according to the rules the competitors must go through the water.
