If you have a sponge next to a redstone dust on the ground then waterlog the redstone dust it simply makes a source block of water that doesn't flow no matter what you do to it. I could still swim through it though. Placing water-loggable blocks in the source then breaking the block removes the water with the block. Very odd.
