Comments

From Tom Wilkins : Anyone who wears the bathing suit today that Goofy wore at the beginning of the cartoon would be jailed by the fashion police, but he gets his when he pretends to drown in the bathtub after swimming in thin air. Lack of claustrophobia gets him all wet, then literally tied up in knots but does not teach us about first aid with his clumsy diving into an empty tank! But at least he could skim water very well when he gets catapulted from a certain "Hawaii Five-Uh-Oh" situation. I wonder how he got to his personalized island and got the royal treatment!

From Baruch Weiss : I liked the ending of this short where Hawaiian music plays as the cartoon closes.

From Dino Cencia : This Goofy cartoon is awesome! Goofy's bathing suit is cool. He learns how to strokes on a piano stool making him like he's a real swimmer. I know how to swim and I could practice how to swim like breathing, also stroke a on a piano stool and do a windmill stroke and move my arms like Goofy does in the cartoon. Also, the funny part was Goofy trying to get in the beach locker but he's too big and moves around in the locker taking his pants off and the locker knocks over the lockers. That was funny. Also, other funny parts were Goofy diving into an empty tank (crash!) and the narrarator says: "It is customary to have to the pool filled with water". That part was funny too. Also, last Goofy goes flying and skips on the water to an island and he relaxes on the island with girls around him. That is a good cartoon to watch of how to swim. I give it 50 out of 50.
