If it`s hot enough I just jump. If it is somewhat cooler, which is often the case where I live, I tend to use the stairs to climatise myself to the cold water.
-
usually it depends on the temperature of the water...if it's a little cold for my taste i'll sit on the edge of the wall in the middle part and slowly lower myself in...if the water's warm, then i just jump straight in
-
Stairs most of the time.
-
I'm a stairs person.
-
If I just got out of the hot tub then I will use the stairs, otherwise I will let someone toss me in! :)
-
Stairs or ladder; I really don't like my head being under water.
-
CANNONBALLLLL!
-
I launch myself off the side. It's the only way... unless of course I'm at a public pool which has people swimming in neat little rows already.
-
I just kind of slide in from the sunbathing shelf/seat :)
-
I usually try to go down the stairs slowly because the water is so cold, then I say forget it and just jump in.
-
I usually use the stairs or wade in.
-
i just jump i think its kinda liberating to do it that way.
-
Aw, might as well JUMP! :D JUMP! Don't climb in, just JUMP! Hey you! :O Who said that? Just got tossed in . . . :X Got to roooooll with the punches and swim the deep end . . . ` (I hope folks remember VanHalen)
-
I just go in there one toe at a time. Brrrrrrr.....that water is cold.:(
-
When I did, I just jumped. If it was cold/cool, then I would be able to adjust that much quicker. If I walked in, I'd go VERY slowly, and it would take SO much longer to get used to the cold/cool water. ;-)
-
I always do a backflip into the pool.
-
I'll test the water a few times with my toes, but then I'll jump. Unless of course I'm carrying drinks.
-
im such a woos, I use the stairs, ............ whatever.
-
Just jump! Otherwise I chicken out because its too cold. :P
-
I jump. getting too slow is painful :)
-
All at once. I usually dive or cannonball. Just get it over with and gets to the swimming :)
-
I goto the deep end of my pool. Sort of like ripping off an old bandaid, just get the chill over it.
-
I use the stairs and go in slow.
-
jump :)
-
If it's cold, I use the stairs. If it's not, I jump. :)
-

-

-
I just jump in but I plan to take you with me sweetie.
-
I tend to use the stairs! :)
-
stairs, i'm kind of a chicken eventually I jump in once my legs are wet
-

-
Belly flop
-
JUMP!!! lol... Actually, I do a very graceful dive... 10 points! :)
-
Definitely jump. Otherwise it was torture to go inch by inch underwater. I was on staff at a summer camp that had a swimmable lake, however it didn't have visibility more than 1 foot in front of you while underwater. So, part of our training and our weekly routine would be to conduct a "lost swimmer" drill in the lake. A siren would sound during the day (typically concurrent with lunchtime) and we would have to drop whatever we were doing, wherever we were in camp, and hurry at full speed to the lake, where we would strip down to the least amount of clothes that still allow us to be considered "decently" clothed, and form a human chain and walk into the lake, using our feet to scan the bottom for anything. It became torture at about 3 feet and some people (like me) would just dunk themselves while others would be shivering and chattering until we had to switch from walking to surface dives (when the depth became over our heads and we used our hands now instead of feet to scan the bottom).

I always jump in, regardless of the temperature. It just seems to be a better approach for me. Tough part is swimming in lakes and oceans, where jumping in all at once is impossible. I usually just run in as fast as I can and dive as soon as the water's deep enough.

jump

Jump... it's less torture compared to getting in slowly.
-
I dive in.
-
Jump, good q.
-
Jump, I find it fun to jump in the pool.
-
Jump in. But I usually have two dogs tailing me. So they love it when I cannon ball and the water goes all over them. Ha ha...
-
From the highest position possible :) lol
-
More often than not I just jump.
-
Definitely jump! If I try to go in slowly I usually chicken out because it seems colder.
-
First I strike a pose and flex my "muscles". Then I do a David Hasselhoff run to the diving board. I finish with a graceful swan dive into the water. Go big or Go home!
-
Depends how bad I have to pee... JUST KIDDING!
-
Gotta jump in! Just like ripping off a bandaid!!
-
Stairs, I can't really swim so I don't dive in :(
-
I wait til just before closing then I stick my foot in the water to test the temperature then throw caution to the wind and jump in!-;)
-
It depends on the situation.
-
Jump, doesn't everyone?
-
One little toe at a time!!! +5
-
slowly walk in

Slip smoothly from the lilo into the water, unless of course someone gets there first, and then i am completely overturned into the water!
