Sure, it may not be easy to swim long course. Every swimmer groans about having to train in the big pool when summer comes around (or, all the time if you live in a warmer climate). The next time you have to race LCM, though, you might want to take a few hints from this bork master, below, who completes an entire 50 long course meters.
Sources close to the pupper claim that it was not rested or shaved. From the video, it looks as though there was no tech suit usage, either, making this an even more impressive swim for the young gun. According to a rough estimate taken with an iPhone stopwatch (due to the lack of live results available for the dog), the time for the dog was a 57.43, which might have been the dog’s first time under a minute. What a barrier to be broken!
It looks as though this was swum during a 50 meter fly (you can see people swimming fly at points during the video).

I really want a dog for a swim buddy now! He’s having so much fun!
That’s my dog ? his name is Brinjal and he trains with us at Royal Fins Aquatics in South Africa ?
This is so cool! Our dog is on Swim Swam! His name is Brinjal and he practices every day at Royal Fins Aquatics. The most laps he has ever swum without stopping was 22 laps in a 25m pool. If he goes a day without swimming he is very sad. We are so proud of him!
You guys, I think we’ve figured out how to grow interest in the sport in non-Olympic years.
Slay
Looks like illegal use of a tail as a propeller.
What a good boy
I’m impressed by his reaction time. But he can still improve his underwaters.
