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?

Depends upon how uncomfortable I am the time . . . Heat/humidity wise.

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.
