So, it ripples and sloshes, kind of like a full water balloon?

Gravitational pull creates tidal friction, which translates into thermal generation. Not enough to generate real heat, actually - the actual temp of liquid water is still cold enough to freeze the personals off an iron dog - but the salinity and pressure is enough to keep it in a liquid form, and potentially within the survivable boundaries of the aquatic extremophiles known on Earth.
