As long as he's in the water he is soaking, even if he is moving about.
It seems some torts enjoy bathing and some don't.
Some people have to soak the tortoise in a high sided container so it can't get out.
Make sure your water isn't too cold or too hot and he should be fine, but he may not like it.
