The soap acts as a 'wetting agent' in non scientific terms it makes the water 'wetter'. As said, it reduces the surface tension.
Those of us who used to develop our own film negatives will remember using a 'wetting agent'.

I still develop film. I have a jug of photo-flo 600 about 20' away from me as I type this.

Thanks everyone for the helpful input. A special thanks to Jimmy for posting the directions that came with a Swaty. I can't wait to get honing.
