Default Not really a 'training' issue, but...

How do you get a Yorkie used to (or started in) swimming? I just picked up a very small inflatable ring pool about 3' across and maybe 8" deep. I don't want to toss Mac in (he's 5 months old) as that could be rather stressful. Do I toss in a toy? I think he'd be way to scared to go after it. (He doesn't care for his baths much although he does like licking the water from the sprayer in the sink.) So how do I introduce Mac to his little wading pool so he'll LOVE it? How did you get your Yorkie to LOVE swimming? I've seen the great pics / avatars and even videos of Yorkies swimming and would love to be able to have Mac do the same someday. Thanks for any hint and tips!!
