Dog Retrieves Towel Before Jumping In The Pool

May 302013

Three months ago, Chase the Labrador Retriever went viral for adorably helping his much smaller French Bulldog friend fetch a Frisbee in the tall snow without stealing his thunder. That video currently stands with over a quarter million views.

But Chase has returned to demonstrate to the web that he is no one trick puppy.

Now that summer is here, Chase loves nothing more than taking a dip in the pool. And he always makes sure to get his towel from the linen closet beforehand. Awesome.

“Don’t forget to bring a towel!”

Baby River Otter Learns To Swim

Apr 082013

Most people are surprised to learn that baby otters don’t instinctually know how to swim when they are born. Ironically, the water animals have to teach their young how to swim, much like humans.

And similarly to people, the mother otter will seemingly drag their young to the water’s edge, and throw them in with a splash. It may look a little rough at first, but it’s really no different than signing your kid up for swimming lessons at the local pool or YMCA in the summer.

The Oregon Zoo has gone viral with this adorable video featuring their baby river otter Molalla. In less than a week, the video highlighting Molalla’s first ‘swimming lesson’ has accumulated over 300,000 views.

Last Tuesday, Cpugs7 published this video under the simple title Hallway Swimming. In the short clip, a seemingly Canadian high school student demonstrates how to go ‘hallway swimming,’ sliding on the floor from one wall of lockers across to the next with a great kick, just as a professional swimmer would to launch off the edge of the pool. Already, the silly video has accumulated over 675,000 hits.

Swim Team Performs Underwater Harlem Shake Dance

Feb 122013

When a meme like the Harlem Shake really takes off, you have to truly stick out from the rest of the crowd to authentically go viralviral. And that’s exactly what the Georgia Men’s Swimming And Diving Team did.

They performed the now famous Harlem Shake dance underwater.

They even had one guy ‘dance’ in the obligatory sleeping bag that’s been showing up more and more. Now that’s serious commitment.
