Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman is dropping wet weekend surprises for her 2.1 million Instagram followers, showing progress from her blue-eyed friend and inviting fans in for a swim session. Aly, who acquired adorable dog Mylo last year, was back to posting about her trusty four-legged companion today, showing that learning to swim isn't just an achievement for humans. The 2012 "Fierce Five" and 2016 "Final Five" captain shared an adorable video and an even cuter photo – check both out below.

Scroll for the video. Aly, who is recovering from anxiety and seems to have Mylo as a 24/7 form of self-care as she also gardens and keeps herself fit with Pilates, had opted out of showing herself, instead dedicating her two-part post to Mylo, who seems to be quite the accomplished swimmer.
The video, taken inside an indoor pool, showed the gymnast's buddy all treading water and making good headway as he swam, also looking stylish in a red dog coat.

Catching a like from 23-year-old gymnastics superstar Simone Biles, the video quickly turned to still action as Aly posted a shot of her pooch in his cute, dog-fitted white bathrobe, with a caption reading: "Leaning to swim."
"Faster, faster," one fan replied, with others just straight-up losing it over the doggy robe. "Omg that robe," one follower wrote. "Does he have his own embroidered robe?" a beady-eyed user wrote, seemingly noticing gray lettering near the dog's rear. See Aly's killer body shirtless after the video!

Aly, whose dog last year enjoyed a playdate with MCU actor Chris Evans' dog, adopted her pooch in October, and it was a heart-warming reveal. "I’m so excited to be his mom. I’ve already cried a few times because I feel so lucky," she wrote on Halloween. "He kept me up most of the night but I loved being able to comfort him & make him feel safe."
"The shelter didn’t know his mom or dad. Wondering where he got those beautiful blue eyes from," Aly added. See her stretching below!

Aly, who appeared on "The Today Show" this year and openly discussed mental health, has proven an open book with regards to both her anxiety and her OCD. The brunette, a giant fan of meditation, has also been turning to gentle exercise Pilates to get her recovered from tough times – following the 2016 Olympics, Aly was so low, she admitted she could "barely walk" up stairs.
