I found us a nice, secluded (read: abandoned) practice dock near my mom's house, just to make sure I can get Baloo to jump before actually competing (I've already entered him in an event in June!) 
And he did!! It wasn't pretty, the first few times he slid in head first, came up sputtering and squinting and didn't seem all that impressed. But a few times he actually jumped!
I was so proud, this was his first time going in the water without a gradual slope, I wasn't sure whether he'd do it at all, I actually brought a net to retrieve his toys in case he wouldn't. And, this is lake Ontario we're talking about here, which is perpetually freezing cold all year long.
Good boy!! Dock diving, here we come!!
