Depends upon how uncomfortable I am the time . . . Heat/humidity wise.
When you are at a pool, beach, river or lake are you a "jump in right away" kind of person or the "toe tester" kind of person?
I generally wade in. I used to jump right in, but after a scary experience I don't do that anymore. I live where there are several natural springs. The water in the springs is always 72 degrees F. (22C) I jumped in on a hot day. It was in the mid 90s and with the humidity but the heat index well over 100F (38C). Just as I surfaced I started to pass out from the shock of the temperature change. A friend jumped in with me, and I said something to them to let them know I was in trouble and they helped me out of he water. Since then I never jump in.
Omg..just started swimming last year after a long phobia.
I'm a toe tester, ankle tester, knee tester and thigh tester. Then I plunge in.
A swimming pool I will jump right in. Any other body of water I slowly wade out, too many things and creatures in there.
I'm a jump in kind of guy. A slow walk into the water is usually torture.
I'm none of these. Not going in any water other than my bathtub.
Balls-out, bum rush into the surf is my style. Pools are rarely deep enough for my liking. Love the water, water sports, water craft, you name it.
I usually jump in quickly and start getting used to the temperature. Going in an inch at a time keeps me uncomfortable longer.
Wade out
I'm a jump-in-naked kind of guy :P
I am with you toe testers! Lol!
I'm a "jump in and get it over with" kind of guy.
Toe tester and walk in slowly, unless the water is really warm.
Hello! I cannot swim, but I do enjoy being in the
water at times. I will normally test the water for its temperature, I hate cold
water! If it’s fine, I will get in and walk around for a while and take a dip
within a few minutes. However, it's harder when the water is cold, let’s not
talk about it!
