Up for grabs

In swimming, one has to accept a certain level of risk.... not just of drowning, not just of swimming in water that some six-year-old has invariably peed in, but of getting grabbed in all sorts of places that you would only let someone very intimate with you touch

Aww, I dont miss that about swimming when I was on a team.

But it's like a whole metaphor for teenage life! The random fumbling and groping and then going your separate ways without ever speaking!

Well, maybe that's more like a teenage guy's fantasy or something...
