Here are some basic tips for dog swimming:

1. Introduce gradual exposure: Start by introducing your dog to a shallow area of water so they can get used to the feeling of being in water. Gradually increase the depth as they become more comfortable.

2. Use a life jacket: Even if your dog is a good swimmer, using a life jacket can provide extra safety and support, especially if they tire or encounter unexpected currents.

3. Stay within arm’s reach: Always keep a close eye on your dog while they’re swimming and be ready to assist them if needed.

4. Rinse after swimming: Make sure to rinse your dog with fresh water to remove chlorine, salt, and any other chemicals that may irritate their skin.

5. Provide access to clean drinking water: Swimming can cause dogs to become dehydrated so always provide them with fresh water before, during, and after swimming.

Remember, not all dogs are natural swimmers. Some may need extra training or assistance, so always prioritize your dog’s safety and well-being.
