what does this phrase mean? ^^

I've never heard this saying before, but I'll attempt to make a guess at its meaning. What would you put back into the water? Well the first thing that comes to mind is fishing. Most places have laws as to what size fish you can keep. If its too small you have to throw it back, and try again. Then again it sounds like something someone would say to someone learning how to swim. "Don't give up, get right back in the water, and try again." So I think it means to try again.

I have not heard that saying before, if I can recall. Have you ever heard the saying that a person is, "in hot water?" Usually that means that they have gotten themselves in some sort of trouble. If you want to apply it to a real life example, if you were drowning and pulled ashore, it probably would not be too smart to get up and walk back into the water immediately. If I had to take a guess, the phrase probably means that you got out of trouble only to walk right back into it.

In what context is this phrase? It will be easier to help you if you can gieve us more text. By itself it just means what it says: straight back into the water.
