Is Buoyant force a reaction?

When we fall on water. The surface molecules are pushed down and as a consequence molecules below the surface molecules and molecules beneath them and so on are also pushed down. Some of them are however displaced. The particles, being pushed, must push us back in reaction. Is that what we call Buoyant Force?
