{mu'i} seems like the wrong word here, and {cilmo} would mean "I am wet" not "I become wet". My translation would be {mi klama lo cnita be lo trici tezu'e lo nu na cimbi'o} but the main point is I would use {tezu'e} in place of {mu'i} since not getting wet is a goal, not a motivation (because it hasn't happened).

I'd also suggest {co'a cilmo} instead of {cimbi'o} which would be more frienly towards learners while retaining the meaning.
