Question: Does the fast break if one accidently swallows water while making Wudhu?

Answer: While making Wudhu, if water accidentally went down a person’s throat while the person was aware that he was fasting, his fast will break. Qadha will be Wajib, but there will be no Kaffarah (The person will have fast one day after Ramadan as a compensation) {Shami (vol. 2 pg. 401)}
