When I was a teenager, we had a poodle. The poodle DESPISED the water, but as kids of course, you want your dog to go in the lake, so, we'd try to lead her into the water and she would put the brakes on and you'd give up trying to literally drag the dog into the lake.
Then we'd try carrying her into the lake and letting her go. She could swim no problem, but immediately headed for shore. (We wanted her to swim with us.)
Only once when it was about 40 C outside did she decide to wade into the lake that that was only up to her belly.
We also had a cat and one time it was rolling around on the concrete deck of the swimming pool and rolled right in. Stupid cat. When it came up, it immediately swam to the stairs in the pool and climbed out. Smart cat.
