What happened was this, during the first take of that scene, one of the divers misses his mark and accidentally kicks Jane in the head, knocking her into the pool. You can clearly see this if you slow the scene down, where the diver's leg clips Jane on the head by accident.

This was not supposed to happen, and Jane was not supposed to end up in the pool, but when she got knocked in, she shrugged off the bruising she got and she ad-libbed and smiled for the camera. The director then asked Jane if she was OK, cos she had a bruise on her neck, and so they dried her off and re-staged the scene all over again. They did the scene properly on the 2nd take, and it went off perfectly and the divers dived over her and Jane did not go in the pool.  Later on, when the film was being edited, the Director looked at the 2nd take versus the first take with the blooper where Jane got knocked in the pool in error, and they decided that the 1st take was better and they liked Jane';s spontaneous add lib reactions in the pool and when wet.....so they decided to keep the blooper version in the film cos they felt it looked better.

So....thanks to the diver who missed his mark and kicked Jane in the head by mistake....we got to see a classic wet scene that was never scripted that way.
