Dunking face in water.

My 4 year old has always had an issue with getting his hair and face wet. Recently he’s started dunking his face into the bath, getting distressed but repeatedly doing it. When asked why he’s doing it he says it’s because of the toys, or his brother/dad/myself. Basically he can’t give any reason why. He has done this during every bath time for the last few weeks. Today he did it twice before I could stop him. Then he cried that he wanted to get out. I told him we’d have a quick wash then get straight out. Whilst he was getting washed I could see in his face he was wanting to do it again even though he was still crying that he didn’t like it. Any advice??

Thanks
