Ummm, Mr. Wilson...it means that they went down into the water and came back up, he was Baptized in water that day, after hearing Philip teaching about the need for him to be, as Apostle Peter taught the people some time before, "Repent and be Baptized".
Apostle Paul only Baptized a few believers in water, but all the many others were also Baptized in water by others who were appointed to do so. If Apostle Paul stayed around each place he was sent by The Holy Spirit to evangelize, and Baptized everyone, he would have much less time doing the other things he was called to do, not that it was not needed to be done, but he and his fellow Apostles appointed "Elders in every city", who carried out that essential work...
Also you seem to be very confused about a number of things, where you mix up the narratives of secular historians with The Holy Scriptures, unless I read you wrong there, and if not, please tell us that you are not planning on creating a new version of The New Testament, with these wrong applications and wrong interpretations.
