Teaching dogs how to swim is a lot easier than teaching humans. Dogs are pretty much natural swimmers, and they often get the hang of it on their first try.

But when this pup went swimming for the first time, he made it perfectly clear that a few lessons were in order. Watching him paddle around in the water might just be the funniest thing ever.

This pooch’s first attempt at swimming is hysterical. You could say that he made a real splash!
