Are you refering to the movie Excalibur - I think that is the only place that this happens. The film is full of symbolism. That scene is obviously ment to be babtismal. Arthur is portrayed very much as a Christ figure throughout the film. Esp at the end!

The "real " King Arthur is made up of about 4 or 5 different people. So the story you refer to , the knighting in the water really didn't happen.. Hollywood once again used it's power to just plain and simply make things up... In the movie Excalibur , I found it completely different from legend... The baptism business of the Bible got mixed up in a 1,500 year old legend... None of it really happened... Blessed Be...

Probably either the baptism of Jesus, or the baptism of the Ethiopoan Eunich

And the Bible borrows from ancient Sumerian and Akkadian mythology and legend, which borrows from those that preceded them.
There's very little that's original in this life.

When Jesus took John into the sea and baptised him (honored him with being a christian).
