Oh dear 8wks old? Wait and Wait. Put up a kiddie pool let it warm up (if you have any warm weather). Babies of any breed need to be slowly introduced to the water. I wade in with my pups on leash first just up to their ankles and see how they do. Then deeper when they seem confident.
Never ever throw your dog into the water. That is truly counterproductive if you want a pup to enjoy the water. In the meantime you can play games with her. Find the toy - give treats that she has to find. Chase a ball. At this age no more than say 10 minutes of play at any given time. You can tire her out by playing games that engage her brain.
