游 means roam or travel, 玩 means play. Together they form the idea of leisurely enjoyment — strolling, sightseeing, amusing yourself like someone on a victory lap.

游 — water radical 氵 + 斿 (banner/streamer)
游 combines the water radical 氵 with 斿, which depicts a banner streaming in the wind. The original sense was a flag fluttering or floating, extended to drifting on water, swimming, and wandering. Today it commonly means to swim, travel, or roam.
