Consider taking gin to a professional groomer or a "self wash" facility. He may calm down once he is out of his normal environment. You can also gradually desensitize him to getting wet. Expose him to water for short periods of time and gradually increase the length as he becomes acclimated. Correct any negative behavior immediately and praise/reward good behavior. Be patient, firm and consistent.
