Turtle need water to swallow so it is normal that she goes back in the water.
Do the same from time to time with the other turtle as well. Be sure they now how to get on the basking platform. My turtles didn't want to use their new one for two weeks but eventually got used to it.
You can put some decorations like leaves and fake grass to encourage them as well.
Besides the treats on the platform, I also started to feed them when they were on the ramp, but still inside the water. They aren't scared of walking on the platform when I'm around when I do that. It encourages them to be around the new setup !
