At first, Pepper didn't care much for swimming - or getting wet, for that matter. Shibas have a thing about getting dirty and Pepper is exactly like that. She couldn't stand puddles or the rain...
One day, we took her to a new dog park, one that have a doggy beach (a big pond and some sand) and she LOVED it! But for the longest time, she wouldn't go into the water. Finally, she got hot enough (and saw enough dogs jump in) to step her feet into the water. On the second day, she went in until her chest touched the water. And now, about six months later, she happily swims in the shallow parts.
This is a video of her at a water park. They had a "doggy day" in which they only opened the park for canines.
(Take note that she still doesn't like to get her head wet.)
