How to unlock the Swept Off Their Feet achievement in Hydrophobia - Definitive Guide
You do NOT need to delete your cache and play offline to obtain this achievement!
From the main menu simply select New Game, pick easy… then speed run through Act 1 (shouldn’t take too long if you’ve played the game before).
In act 2, you can sweep the first 3 (sometimes 4) malthusians.
If you are AT ALL not 100% sure you swept your target... Kill yourself or reload the checkpoint.
It doesn't matter if they are alerted to your presence! Although it might make it harder...
Just make sure they are close enough to the glass before you break it.
This achievement just takes patience, persistence and a little luck, but you can do it! ONLINE!
Good luck!

This worked well for me. On easy, they'll fall down even if they've been alerted to your presence, so long as they're directly in front of the glass panel. I was able to get three on the first three guys in Act 2, and the second and third had seen me.

I eventually got this online and with the latest patch. I swear I watched about 30 get knocked down during the course of replaying ch 2 and 3 on normal and then going through 1-3 on easy. I was replaying 2 on easy when it popped. It must be setting your counter to zero if you die and no way it's counting multiple playthoughs. Something else is going on. PITA. Thanks Derrock.

Start of Act 2. Take cover and wait near a water filled room then shoot the glass while a Malthusian walks directly infront of it. Do this with the next 2 malthusians aswell. Reloads dont count.
After update:
Start of Act 3 has many Malthusians to sweep.
** Buggy after the new update might take 4-5 or more swept to unlock **

If you're really careful and make sure the Malthusians are standing right in front of the glass (don't alert them, let them cycle through their patrol pattern) this will pop. Got it on my second try.
FYI, generally don't recommend external links in your solutions. The collectible guide made sense but this one isn't really necessary.

Hi,
I guess we have to do the game from the beginning to access the start of act 2, and get this achievement? Because I tried several times starting directly from the act 2, and there is only one guy walking in the rows. But on Zacry072's guide, the video shows the player starting playing directly from act 2, from the game menu screen, and he doesn't have the electric cables at the beginning and has the 3 ennemies. I do have those cables at the start and only one guy walking...
So, what's the deal? Thank you.

Since i played this game online on the 360, i can't tell how big the difference on the other consoles will be.
After i finished the game, i loaded the 2nd Chapter on Easy Mode. (Didn't have much luck with the 3rd Chapter but this may be a matter of taste)
I gently tapped on the first guy with the Sonic Ammo, and kept shooting him until he was next to a glass door.
After i shot him dead (because of the key), i opened the door and kept tapping and running away from the 2 other guys who were hiding in a corner, until they were next to multiple glass doors.
Apparently you don't have to kill them with the water, because they were alive, even after the drowning/bubbles symbol.
Hopefully this will help you out.

You must use water to knock over 3 enemies. If you don't have this by the end of the game load act 2 and shoot the glass walls to bring water out knocking over the enemies. This can be done to the first 3 enemies.

You need to completely knock down three people with water. Here is a video on how to do it:
