I think, like children, sometimes little dogs have to get used to the water. Mine was afraid, but we discovered quickly that she really enjoyed being on a floating raft with me, and then after doing that a few times, she didn't mind the water nearly as much.

I have to put my pup in the water once in a while at the lake. We hang out on the dock - and some summer days are far too hot for anyone or anything that doesn't jump in once in a while and cool off.

Also - I have noticed that she will go wading on her own a lot.
