    also if you have dog/s an a swimming pool its best to teach your dog/s where the ends are to get out as some dogs have been known to paddle endlessly at the border/edge of the pool an get tired an drown cuz they didnt know how to get out of the pool
    Never thought of that lst part, but that's interesting to learn.

    Definitely find a teacher and learn to swim, it's so worth it!

    Trying to get my brother to teach me when he has time

    i didnt either until i seen several videos of dogs in pools an a lot of the time they head right for the edge/border thing of the pool an try to pull themself out that way; an some dogs dont have the strength to pull themselves out. especially smaller dogs; so its best to teach where the ends are so they can just swim up an onto the stairs an get out
