Our neighbors have a pool they are happy to let me use whenever I want. They have said they don't want Clifford in. I suppose they are worried about his hair or drool or something, I don't know. Anyway they are away for the week so I just had to sneak him in once to see how he like it. He is always so eager to get to their yard I thought he would jump right in. No, he wanted to investigate the yard first and I was already in the pool calling to him, pretending to drown, etc. He's been swimming in the lake and the river, but never with anyone in with him. I wanted to see his great rescue instinct.
He did finally get in and went swimming around and didn't want to get out. However he had absolutely NO INTEREST in what ever I did to act like I needed help, etc. Oh well, good thing I'm a strong swimmer and will probably never need to be rescued.
