I have always rather liked the anticipation of getting wet slowly and feeling the water level gradually soak through my clothes and get higher and higher the further in I go, but our recent experience on the dunk tank (told on the Beach Club) rather changed my mind and the instant thrill of getting totally soaked all over in just an instant was a sort of sensory overload in that there was no chance to savour getting wet feet and feeling them squishing around for a bit before getting the legs of jeans wet and then the crotch and backside areas and all that that entails in feeling wetness soaking through, and then the upper body as the water level reaches the chest and then finally your head gets wet. It was everything together, and then you are surfacing and climbing out with water pouring out of your wet clothes and they are clinging and trying to stick to your body as you move. So, for me, it's now just jumping or diving in and getting that instant soak feeling. It may not stay that way in future, but for now it's the best.
