I always used the bath tub so they couldn't fall. Talk soothingly. The first few times are usually the most difficult. There isn't a lot you can do to make it better. Just try not to spray water in the faces and ears that will turn them off to baths forever. He'll get better, or he should get used to it and not put up such a fuss. I have never had one carry on that way, but they're all different. Don't feel too bad. Kacee peed on me - I think it was the second time - I blew her dry.

Now she loves the blow drier. Just be careful and not have the drier too close or too hot. He should be ok as time goes by, but I doubt if getting a bath will ever be his favorite thing. However, he'll love how he feels afterward and sleep like a baby after he's through running like a maniac.
