Does aluminum shrink in water

Aluminium is a metal, and solid well beyond the point where water has evaporated. Aluminium is also extremely unreactive with water when simply placed in it. There is thus no reason why the metal would shrink or otherwise change its shape (apart from the obvious one of placing hot metal in cool water, or quenching, but this is a result of thermal effects, not just because you put aluminum in water).
