Could she have taken off her life jacket momentarily (that intent, anyway) to put on more sunscreen? And then, (un)luckily, that's right when she gets knocked in the water? Or maybe the jacket chafed her and was interfering with her ability to row. Or someone else was having trouble with *their* jacket and asked to swap. Or she initially had a t-shirt on over her swimsuit, but the day got too warm so she removed the jacket for a moment to pull off her shirt and then... Any of these momentary excuses for having her be jacketless work? Or inspire something better? ;) She would even get in trouble then, after she got fished out (so to speak) for having broken the rules.
Do you know what message you want her to come away with, after speaking to the fish? Not the exact words, but the impression and impact it will have on her? Maybe it would work better to go backwards like that.
