> I went to an event sponsored by my college a couple monthes ago, at the local park. I just to get out of the dorm for a while, and because I enjoy playing volleyball once in a while, which was something they were doing at the event. I went there alone, wearing a pair of athletic shorts and a t-shirt, and I did manage to join a small group of people playing volleyball. After the game, I was pretty hot and sweaty, with the sun beating down from the sky. I decided I needed to cool down a bit, but I wasn't planning or intending to go for a swim, so I only removed my shoes and socks and waded out into the water. I figured I wasn't going to go out past my knees, so I didn't have to worry about my clothes getting wet. The water felt great on my feet, and really helped to cool me down. I went out a little farther, with the water going almost up to my knees, and it just started to get my shorts wet. I didn't mind, the water felt good.

> A bit further offshore, I spotted a group of people gathered in a circle hitting a volleyball around. It looked like they were really having fun out there, diving and dunking themselves in the water just to try and keep the volley going. The water out there was knee deep, so I figured I'd go out there and join them, since I was already almost knee-deep in water and my shorts were starting to get wet. They were all nice and friendly, allowing me to join them, even inviting me in as they saw me walking up. I was the only one out in the water wearing a t-shirt. The guys kept encouraging me to dive for the ball, but each time I hesitated, because I originally didn't plan on getting my clothes wet, which is why I didn't take my shirt off and why I wasn't wearing swim trunks myself. Some other people joined us, and the group then explained that they had one rule for their game, and that was you had to dive for the ball when possible, which I was unaware of until then. The people that just joined us didn't waste much time diving for the ball when it came their way, but didn't get much from the group aside from a "good dive" comment. I decided I didn't want to look like a wuss to the group by not diving in, and I didn't want to just walk away from the group, still mostly dry, because that would just make me look more like a wuss. So, the next time the ball came in my direction, I took a dive for it. I missed hitting the ball completely, but I stood up to much applause and laughter, probably because I was the only one wearing a t-shirt and still brave enough get wet. The water felt great on such a hot day, but even better with my clothes on. After that, I continued to dive in the water a good number of times, and I enjoyed every moment of it.

> I'm still a little nervous and hesitant about getting my clothes wet, but this made me feel better about it. I want to try swimming in my jeans and a t-shirt next, or a dunk tank, because those always looked like fun to me, I just haven't been brave enough to try one.
