I have finally gotten up the guts to shove my face into the rushing water in Callahan's Ledge on the Olympic section of the Ocoee, but now a new fear starts.  Both times that I've attempted it in this hole... POP!  Off goes my gd skirt. :(  

I fill up with water, and swim. >.<  Once it caused me to swim Humongous, and while this was fun and totally exhillirating, or however you spell it, I think once is enough.

So anyway, what can I do to prevent this?  

I'm usiung a Kokatat skirt on a T2.

Pls hep meh!
