the flowing back of the tide as the water returns to the sea
 * Ebbs to the Sea:

"You will dive and swim soon enough where this tidewater ebbs the sea", is support from the father to the daughter. It gives us a message of what he sees his daughter doing in the future as she learns to swim on her own. In this case, he is inferring that she will be diving into a whole new world someday and one day she is going to be on her own.

He might also use the image to suggest that his daughter will go to the metaphorical 'edge of the world.'
