Pooches showed their owners how to doggy-paddle as they enjoyed a dip in an Olympic-size swimming pool.

The annual dog swim at the Grade II-listed Sandford Parks Lido pool in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, was attended by an estimated 1,800 dogs and their owners over the weekend.

This year's event was the eighth consecutive dog swim and attracted breeds across the board, from Beagles to Bulldogs. Video via SWNS.
