I'll watch for a confirmation of "intended effect" from a mod or dev, but for water drops (you use water at the bottom of a long drop as an "elevator down") and when exploring caves, swimming in 1 high water because you happen to be sprinting can be annoying. It shifts the view reference, and you have to "hop" out of the water, where if you were simply sprinting out of water from standing, your view doesn't shift and it makes water drops easier and cave exploration is less confusing, especially while trying to run from a creeper and you HAPPEN to be sprinting through a stream of water.
For those who want to keep this, a simple enough test: try manually flooding a cave in Creative mode. You have to fill up from the bottom to avoid problems with flowing blocks of water where there shouldn't be. Be sure to give yourself night-vision. Just fill the cave in Creative and see how that 1-high block swimming works out for you if you are sprinting and trying to do it quickly.
Yeah, I have a "water drop" from a height so I can get to bedrock quickly. Without thinking, I try to "sprint" out of the splash zone to go about my business, I swim in the one-high block of water instead, then I have to jump out. How annoying! This is not a desireable feature.
