The people wearing shoes jumping into the water is because when you jump from a fairly high height you can hurt your feet. We used to jump from the top of a quarry into the water, everyone had water running shoes so they didn’t damage their feet. Everyone, thinks of water as soft but, the higher the jump the more pressure on the feet going into the water.

@@toddarmstrong.trackside.action I don’t think that there would be zebra muscles in a rock quarry because there is nowhere for it to come from and go to. A quarry is a big hole in the ground that gradually fills up with rain water. The height of that quarry is about 40 feet or more. A great place to jump into and swim. The y have a track built by the machine that originally carried the rock from the quarry. The one track down to the water’s edge is for those who don’t want to jump. The top of the quarry wall is what we jump off. Was great fun. Very few injuries happened.
