Getting wet on Mahi Mahi Resort Rainmaker

I've not got the hang of the Mahi Mahi Resort map. I played it a bit when released, but whenever it's come in to the general rotation since I just find myself jumping in to the water. I don't know if having the water level drop is mucking up my mental map, or if I just don't have a good feel for it yet. I don't suppose playing Rainmaker in Ranked really helps with trying to learn the map either. I should try to spend some time in Turf War, where the goal is to run around the whole map and ink it, instead of finding optimal routes to the other side. If I don't know the map, how can I know a good route to take?

It also doesn't help having platforms above water and a Rainmaker's shield that expands and bumps squids away from it. I get thrown in to the water more than once for getting too close. Not that I know how I can stay away whilst staying on solid ground. I'll get the hang of it at some point.

It's a fairly frustrating battle for me, given the number of dunkings I take, but I'm enjoying the N-ZAP '85 still, and I'm sure I'll get used to the map at some point.
