A hilarious Instagram video from @odin.thebigboy shows a dog named Odin excited to go swimming in the pool — and the highlight is his little swimsuit that he most clearly rocks. The Labrador hears the door open and bolts like he has a race to win.
It begins indoors, with Odin pacing towards the back door in an orange swimsuit that looks more like a snug tee than pool gear, and his mom declares, “Okay, he’s ready. He’s wearing his swimsuit. Here we go,” before opening the door.
Video shows dog diving into the swimming pool but returning for his toy
The video shows the dog bolting outside and heading straight for the swimming pool in his adorable swimsuit. He takes one running stride and launches into the pool — and watching him speed like that, his mom says, “Oh, God,” laughing as Odin splashes into the water.
Then, she tosses the frisbee into the pool while Odin swims, telling him, “Odin, get your toy.” She points him toward the floating toy, prompting Odin to adjust course, turn to the frisbee, paddle over, and clamp the toy in his mouth, earning him a “good boy” from his mom.
Odin’s enthusiasm is almost contagious, and it appears familiar because Labradors have a strong history with water. The breed was built for swimming and fetching, so many Labs would usually treat water like the best part of the day, especially when a toy turns it into a game with a reward.
The comments section loved the dog’s commitment. Some viewers pointed out that the suit felt unnecessary, with one writing, “Why does he need a swimsuit? He is a lab. Made for water,” while another gushed, “Odin’s world we are just living in it.”
Others highlighted the joy of it all, calling it “the time of his life,” and one even declared he could “be in the dog Olympics.” And the dog in this video may not know what the swimsuit is for, but he definitely loves the pool.
