I set up a glassy water landing and it worked like a charm.

You mean like this?

You establish a nose up attitude just before passing your last visual
reference point as low as safely possible. Add some power, then ignore the
lake - it my case I ignored my altitude and just kept it between the runway
edge lights. It really is remarkable how stable aircraft are in this phase,
even the Twin Bee seemed rock solid for a twin at a slow airspeed. Also,
don't flare - especially on a checkride.

Note: You can burn up a ton of distance. At 100fpm, let's say you cross the
VRP at 200', that's two minutes in the descent and about 2 miles (12000').
So you do need to get down low to minimize the distance. FYI: I had my
student call out the airspeed continually as an added safety factor. (I was
in the right seat).
