I think Super Mario Bros might have been the first. Might depend on what counts as a “platformer” or a “water level”.

Sub Hunt, Frogger, White Water
Upvoted, but I’m not sure frogger counts. I haven’t heard of the other two.
Water, sure, but none of those are platformers.
I’d call frogger a platformer, but the water aspect is only aesthetic. So disagree with OP on that but for different reasons.
Anybody have one that predates Pitfall II: Lost Caverns (1984)?

If you mean “water level” as in where for an isolated level you’re swimming, but not the entire game, super Mario Bros might be it
Released in 1985, about a year and a half after Pitfall II.
