The water soaked through her coat quickly and was an immediate, cool balm on her hot skin.  Banner's paws were especially relieved, both from the strain of longer-distance travel and the heat the ground had leeched from the sun.  She swam a few strokes before turning and heading back to the shore.  Despite the momentum she'd gained from barrelling into the water, her legs were still short - by the time the water's resistance slowed her down enough, she'd only made it several yards from the shallows.

And that ended up being a good thing because that voice had startled the ever loving hell out of her.

"Ack!"  The noise was all she'd managed before momentary panic took over.  Banner flailed in the water and lost her swimming rhythm and, as luck would have it, she wasn't quite close enough to shore for her paws to reach the bottom yet.  That didn't stop her from trying.. which also didn't stop her from gasping as her head went under the water's surface again.  This time it was unplanned.  Panic built upon panic - it was the only strong emotion aside from anger she'd felt in what seemed like eons.

She surfaced again three seconds later.  "What the -" her sentence was cut off coughing so deep it rattled her trachea.  Banner struggled forward, still thrown off by her own stupidity as she dragged her body out of the water and collapsed in a heap.
and i'm a loser in love
so baby raise a glass
to mend all the broken hearts
of all my wrecked-up friends
