Back in Scouts, every year we go to one of our leaders cabin (house) up north and go on a canoe trip. He lives on a canal that goes to the lake. When I get there it is a tradition to jump in 'as is' but some were fishing off the dock, so I didn't.
Later on two of the older Scouts were throwing in two others (in swimsuits) so they were going to swim across the canal. Everyone else was there watching and in regular clothes and long jeans. I asked if they wanted to throw me in. "YEAH" they said. I said I needed a 'buddy' and looked for Tim. I was told Tim and his brother were water bugs, but I have never seen them in the water in their clothes, besides for the swimming and life saving merit badges which had a clothes swim requirement. The conversation went to the guys swimming and I was never thrown in. I still think about it to this day and regret just not jumping in.
