Fishing may be the next thing we'll have to try with Hot Rod. He's just gotten used to being in the water and I think he even likes it. I keep telling hubby that I'll clean the fish if he catches them, maybe I ought to let Hot Rod catch them!
I totally agree with you about teaching them to swim. If you are anywhere near water, it is a good idea. Hot Rod has done well with it and we've even had him in without his life jacket, just in case he should fall in without it on. He did really well with that too (to my relief).
