Another thing I like to say is: everything is situational!

First question for you - who exactly is giving you weird looks for wearing jeans?  Sure, many people think that is not the best choice of clothing on a hot day, but I am surprised anyone would give you weird looks... are they weird looking jeans?  or maybe you are wearing a weird looking shirt?

Hmm, as I sit here thinking about it, one thought continues to reappear in my mind - IT'S YOUR POOL!

Okay, here's a suggestion - just get dressed how ever it is you would like to go swimming.  Eventually one of your guest might ask you "Are you not planning on going swimming?" and you can reply "I *KNEW* I was forgetting to do something!" and then just jump in!  

Or you might get asked a different question like "Why don't you change into a swimsuit and join us?" and you can reply "You know, I don't really feel like changing..." and then jump in!

I can probably think up a million different ways you might be asked the question, and thus, a million different replies to give.  The point here is that it really doesn't matter all that much what is said... in all cases, you are waiting for someone to ask some form of question about going swimming.  When someone finally asks you about it, that is your cue to take the initiative.  Yes, they might be shocked, because purposely going swimming fully clothed is not a common thing for this country.

Once you jump in and surface, the questions might begin - you might make something up, like when you were young, you were at a summer camp and accidentally tipped a canoe over with all of your clothes on, or at some point, you had to do a fully clothed survival swim, yet the experience of swimming fully clothed felt really good, but you can't really put a specific reason into words... and since you have a pool, you might offer your friends the chance to do a fully clothed survival swim test of their own - if nothing else, as a good experience "just in case" and of course, to be the MOST realistic,

And then again, if you get tired of waiting for someone to ask you if you are going swimming, you can just approach the pool and then ask outloud "Hey, is there anybody that is going to be bothered if I jump in the pool with all my clothes on?"  Most likely, no one will be opposed, although they might think you are just bluffing...  and once again, the REAL questions might begin once you re-surface!

How does all of this sound?
