浴 has the water radical 氵 on the left, showing that it relates to water. On the right is 谷, which means valley. Water gathers and flows in a valley. From the idea of being surrounded by flowing water, 浴 came to mean bathe or wash oneself.
Surrounded by flowing water, you bathe — 浴.
Imagine warm water (氵) flowing through a valley (谷), and you step into it to relax and wash. That refreshing bath is 浴.
