When Ponyboy mentioned Bronco showing him the first jumps in the water, Dwin misheard him as saying that he had been "shoved" instead. It was an odd way of teaching a kid to swim and she regarded the boy a bit skeptically, but did not press it any further. Even if it sounded somewhat cruel. Ponyboy had learned to swim decently and not to fear the water at all.
"Well," she got to her feet and stretched, "we could go to the other end of the lake, where the water is clearer and try diving? Like test, how deep you and I can dive and then try to bring some stuff out from the bottom?" No matter the prowess in swimming, Dwin thought that more cannonballs would tire the kid out eventually. Therefore diving seemed like a less strenuous activity.
But it was up to the kid to decide, unless she made the offer more enticing: "I am pretty sure that I saw some hide a treasure there." In fact, it had been her, who had dragged away and downed a skull that the kids had been playing with for weeks. Not out of malice or spite, it had just happened to lie in her path, when she had needed some outlet of her pent up frustration with life.

They spent a very pleasant afternoon with Ponyboy diving and Dwin watching him and forgetting all about her frustrations with Frolic.
