Most of us can only dream of what it would be like to compete in the Olympics. Even those of us who are considered talented in sports aren’t quite up to par with athletes like Katie Ledecky. A social media trend has folks proving this is the case with some of the most hilarious athletic attempts… that end in failure. But humans aren’t the only ones showcasing their sports mishaps. Take, for example, this adorable swimming chihuahua named Potato.

It seems that this adorable pup is aptly named. With a lack of athletic prowess, this little guy was meant to chill on the sidelines while others show off their skills. Still, Potato’s owner tries to make sure he’s active enough to stay healthy. But as you’ll see in the video below, maybe swimming isn’t his thing… at least for now!

Meet Potato, the Swimming Chihuahua Who is Simply Trying His Best
“Potato is still a working on his form,” his human mom shares in the caption. “We took our little chihuahua, Potato to the river yesterday. And unfortunately, he is no Potato Phelps. This attempt at swimming was an absolutely fail, but he did his best.”
Who of us can say that we haven’t been Potato in at least one situation in our lives? Maybe that’s part of the reason this video has gone viral — each of us can relate to this hilariously sweet pup on some level.
“Potato givin it the ol razzle dazzle,” someone in the comment sections shares, with another adding, “It’s the confidence for me…. Goes in to the water already paddling, immediately flops.”
“Nah potato just tried out for the wrong sport,” a third person points out. “He’s perfect for synchronized swimming.”
