Mateo, the Olympic Swimmer



After a recent impromptu swim in Audie's pool, it was apparent that Mateo needed further training in the sport of swimming, and specifically in the "dog paddle" event. So, prior to his more-or-less weekly grooming routine, Ed gave Mateo his first guided swimming lesson. Mateo hasn't yet figured out how to turn his paddling into forward motion. Clearly, Olympians are made and not born, and Mateo will require additional training before he achieves the status of a world-class dog paddler!
