Personally, I hate getting wet. I am not a happy swimmer. But many dogs are, and these are the best of the best.
Kirby won the gold medal! I think his life preserver was made of the same Speedo material that the USA swimmers and Michael Phelps wear. Too bad those humans don't have a 4x100 Dog Paddle event.
Our silver medalist Asta is swimming somewhere in a hurry! I think always-stylish Asta was swimming to the Statue of Liberty to give her some fashion advice. (Maybe try orange instead of that green color.) Congratulations!

And the bronze goes to Asta-Marie - now this is my kind of swimming! It was a hot day so she curled up in the water to cool off. The photo was submitted both by her son Dewey Dewsterand by her friends Lacie, Stanley, and Scruffy, so they can all share credit for the award.
I think this is one of the best events of the Games because the entries were so creative. Vote for your favorite for "Dogs' Choice" in the sidebar! Enjoy!
Steve's pool was just the right size.
Tess looks like something straight out of Sports Illustrated!
Yogui practices his paddling before his human dunks him!.jpg)
Max has beautiful form. Notice the line right down to his pointed tail!
Penny almost looks camouflaged with the nature scene.
Riley had a very artistic vision for his swimming entry!
Rocky sniffs out the best wading spots in the river..jpg)
Benson must be part Retriever!
Clover sets a good example for swimming safety with her life vest.
Gus reminds me of the shark from Jaws - a stealth swimmer!Thank you for all of the great entries!

Wow Lenny...
I am super honored to be the winner of the Bronze medal for my unusual habit of cooling off in anything I can get my body into. Gee, when you are hot and there is water around, why wouldn't you just curl up in it and cool off. That's the sensible thing to do....and aren't we all sensible?
Anyway, thank you for the award and for the honor of being chosen out of a group of such talented competitors.
Asta Marie, WFT
Clover, FTW!

Oh my dog Lenny, I'm so excited and proud to be a gold medal winner! If only I did swim like Michael Phelps, ahhh, a dog can dream can't he.... Thank you again to you, your parents and the wonderful judges. This contest is so much fun!
Your pal,
Kirby
Kirby, your swimsuit is very sleek and stylish! Now all you need are some iridescent goggles!
Asta-Marie - I flip my bowl and then lie in the puddle. Same idea, different execution.
These were all great entries!
