- Memorial Day Weekend is a great time to take a dip in the pool. Just ask these raccoons.
Jimmy Sena of Huntington Beach says he woke up to his dog “going crazy” Friday morning. He looked out his sliding glass door and saw three raccoons taking a dip in his pool.

They are large enough to get out. I was a pool guy for 4 years and weekly would find baby raccoons, possums, birds, rabbits and even a few kittens drowned in pools.
If you know anyone with a pool, they sell little ramps that can be put on an edge or skimmer so small animals can get out. Even a small towel on the edge held down with a concrete block can work.
Ooohhhh how sad, thats gotta be,,,finding dead baby animals..like that...brutally sad
terry-- thanks for the tip!
Great info to combat such a sad man-made situation. Thank you!!!
That is heartbreaking! Thank you for the tip!
You find big spiders in pools in Australia..they come for a drink and drown sometimes.
They’re acting like they just checked into a resort!!! They are loving life.
I mean, they pretty much did check into a resort... party time!
😂😂😂😂😂

🤣🤣 🛑 i can’t 🤣🤣🛑🥱😂😂📌true that 🫶🏻🤣

It has always amazed me how most animals instinctively know how to swim but humans mostly need to be taught.
Most animals walk on all
Fours so swimming is easier and more natural. If you put any primate in water that’s never been in water they will drown
animals live in the wild while humans live in man made homes. Survival in the wild requires an innate ability to swim while for humans swimming in a man made pool requires swim lessons.
@@stephanies2239 Correct me if I'm wrong but water is water whether it be in a pool or a lake, river or ocean.
Most human babies can swim and instinctively know to hold their breath. We are the water Ape.
It surprises me that gorillas and monkeys can swim with those long arms too! 🤷🏽♀️
That’s the best thing Ive seen in a long time. Absolutely adorable, thanks for recording and not forcing them out of the pool. 😂
I’ve never seen them swimming before, so cute, deliberately not getting out of the pool, doing laps and loops.
@Sevi Regis 🤗 I didn't even know raccoons could swim😳😮👀😂😂🤣🤣
They love the water, and are naturals.👍❤️😉
They hang around the river valley in our city (Saskatoon, SK, Canada) so I guess they like water. But never actually saw them swimming before. This video shows that they could easily climb out on those steps but they choose to stay in the water and have fun! Regular lane swimmer here - I can relate - Go Raccoons!! 🤣🤣
Laps and looops 😂 so precious ❤️❤️❤️
But they can be nasty, aggressive and are scavengers, please. I know them to throw themselves against sliders on some home decks in the eve.
Best thing I've seen in a long time. Raccoons are very intelligent animals. Glad they were allowed to enjoy some relaxation in the water.
Yes thanks that the property owners didn't brother them. Just let them enjoy a swim no charge lol
"Allowed." 👀 They do whatever they want. Yuck up that water. 😮
@@mariantreber8055 🤗 Yes they allowed them, because they could have gone out there and run them out of the pool, let the dogs out to get at them and they're probably scared of dogs.
@@mariantreber8055i can’t stand those little bastards! i’ve had them come at me. i’d rather see a coyote because they don’t F with you.
@@mariantreber8055 , "Yuck up the water." I just bet that it's been okay with you for this man's dogs and/or other people's dogs or even some cats to go swimming in a pool. BUT, hey, I'm kinda of okay with that too because I know that the vast majority of swimming pools are filled with water that's been treated with chlorine, and a few other chemicals too. In addition, most swimming pools also have filters too.
Oh, there's one thing that does irk me a bit when I've been near a swimming pool and that is seeing very young babies wearing diapers being put in the non-children's pool instead of the specifically designated pool or roped off section for them. Now, that's disgusting to me because it can be and is under the control of an adult normally, whereas with a wildlife animal it's just usually them trying to beat the heat and/or relax for a short time then they get out and go on their way to wherever. Just ask the people who live in bear country as in the high mountains like Lake Tahoe or Lake Shasta that have swimming pools cause they'd tell you this is true.
They are very polite guests! Quiet, not messy, thoroughly appreciative.
0:32 isn't this one pooping?
Only because the beer cooler was locked. And they are not polite. They stole just the marshmellows one year and left me with the gram crackers and the chocolate. what kind of smore is that.. pssh
@@SpaceRanger187 shut up!!
Yeah it cute until your kids get some sort of infection from fecal bacteria. Might as well be rats swimming around.
Racoons are actually very clean. And it is nice of these people to allow them a moment of their own.
I used to feed baby racoons in my backyard. My neighbors waited for them to grow up and then they ate them. 😞
I'm hoping you made sure everyone found their way out! Thanks for sharing this cute video! Love from Texas ❤
A big 'Thank you!' to the family who filmed and shared this ... and to their dog, Hank, who woke them up. Good boy, Hank!
Hank the cowdog.
Did you not hear in the end what they did - they will send their dog out there who was all this time angry, huffing and puffing!
Looks like they were saying best vacation ever! Thanks for letting them enjoy a swim. Raised a raccoon from baby. They are generally well behaved, clean, gentle, but be careful they are smart enough to watch you open a door or something and replicate it. This was 40 years ago but to him to school for show and tell and everyone loved him.
I think they were drowning
Imagine 3 complete strangers showing up for a pool party in your backyard and not inviting you! The nerve! 😳
😂
😅😅😊
RUDE😂
@@tabkaliO 😂😂😂
It is because you are a killjoy, and they wanna have fun.
I love how the homeowners gladly allowed these little ones to continue their pool party undisturbed. The homeowners also enjoyed this wonderful moment.
Cutest thing ever! They’re really enjoining themselves too!! We just opened our pool this week so I’m gonna keep an eye out for any critters swimming in our pool! Thanks for sharing this …..and for letting them have a good time
It is so nice of them not to chase them away and even the dog didn’t bark.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ Already done it, mate
How’s your hearing? The dog definitely barked.
The dog did bark, just not loudly, he was like whisper-barking, and what he was saying was "look at those weird looking dogs in our pool."
@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist1 Creepy. Get a hobby.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ You’re presumptuous and rude.
The raccoon at 0:43 rolling over had me laughing out loud. "Wwwwhhheeee!!!!! . . . . I am floating! What a glorious day! We should come back here!"
I thought he was gonna try the back stroke
It's one of those F ucked moments in life where real life animals kinda do act like Pixar animals when people aren't watching 😂😂😂😂
Me too, this was awesome 👍
That had me worried.... looks to me like the beginning stages of drowning.... getting tired and rolling over.. back legs not moving much.. going in circles. I wish this video description said all got out ok.
@@valarieirons4447 They're fine, look at 1:02 mins, one of them reaches the top step, stands on it and turns back around, he knows the way out, the others would have followed when they were done.
Thank you for being sweet and letting them cool down and keeping the dog in. Your family is good hearted 💕💖
That is the cutest thing ever!! They're just having a great time swimming around and having fun and I'm here for it. I wish we had a raccoon pool party in our backyard!❤❤❤
Thank you for being great and not chasing them away. Like you say they're just chilling out, having a bit of fun and we all need that now and again.
Did you all guys miss the end? They sent a dog on them!
EXACTLY!❤
*Also, they probably needed to cool down/off.*
This is the most precious thing I’ve seen! I’m so glad they were allowed to enjoy themselves and have a swim. 😊
Nocturnal animals out during the day is a huge sign they have rabies.
@@ammitthedevourerofsouls As is hydrophobia, which they clearly don't have
@@TransoceanicOutreach That literally only made sense to you. Hydrophobia? Fear of water? I don't fear Tiamat primordial water. Do you?
@@ammitthedevourerofsouls You’re right but I don’t think they’d be swimming and enjoying themselves if they had rabies.
@@ammitthedevourerofsouls hydrophobia is rabies. Look it up.
AWW how cute. They are loving life! Thanks for letting them stay. So many people treat them inhumanely. If they only knew how special and intelligent they are 😍😍😍
Who knew? Great catch on film. It amazes how so many animals domestic & wild, find pleasure in things us humans find pleasant & fun.
The way that they swim by using their front paws and leaving their back paws just to dangle in the water is amazing😂🥰
I was just noticing the same thing! I wonder why they don't use their back legs
they're swimming like me 😂
@Luke H not without daily workouts! These will be lean and hungry trash pandas if they keep up with their swim routine…
Its called “doggy paddle” 😉
@@becool_444 raccoon paddle😂
I’m so glad someone filmed and shared this!
If you like this (adorable raccoon videos) search "raccoon gets a donut from Dunkin Donuts...it's adorable.
So am I !
This is priceless. Look at them having a great time in your pool. I had no idea raccoons liked going swimming.,👍😺
That is a cat emoji…Ooookay
@@houdinihir9549 🦝better?
This video brought me soooo much joy! Thank you!❤
They're just living their best life!!! They're absolutely precious
This is absolutely PRICELESS! Thank you for sharing this, just what I needed to put a smile on my face. I can only imagine the surprised look upon your faces seeing this in your pool. Hope your doggo's have calmed a bit now.
This is the cutest darn thing 🥰 especially the one rolling at 0:42, they're just having a great time ^^
One of those way too cute moments that are so loved! Thanks for sharing! ❤
This totally brings a big smile to my face. Thanks for letting them enjoy your pool.
That’s adorable, thanks for sharing cute raccoons!
Loved your video! I think they definitely enjoyed their swim! Thanks for sharing! It put a huge smile on my face! 💗💗
Freaking adorable. Thanks for letting them enjoy a few minutes of relaxation instead of simply chasing them off 💜💙
Many years ago, at my old apartment complex, I saw the neighborhood raccoons swimming in our pool after midnight when it was quiet. Never saw them in the day though. Probably because your backyard is peaceful so they’re not scared. So cute!!!❤
Raccoons are nocturnal, so that's why you don't usually see them in the daytime.
@@ILGuy2012 of u see one in daytime, acting strange, approaching u, may have rabies, & be careful. They hint from dusk till dawn, then & should sleep all day .
I like how everyone is all like "AWWW SO CUTE!!" but completely oblivious that one of them @0:32 just crapped in that pool.. my condolences to the owner.
Absolutely fantastic. The one floating and waving its paws in the air, the laps and the revelation they don't use their back legs for swimming.
I like how the owners just let them enjoy themselves. Hank the dog wanted to join them 😂
It's probably good the owners didn't allow that.
Racoons are dangerous to people, they could not do anything but watch.
When dog huffs like that he is angry and now that they released the dog out, dog will be chasing and/or hurting them.
@@mybestideas1 WOW, thanks for the info. I appreciate your response.
You could see it felt SO GOOD to them! Heartwarming!
0:43 the Raccoon in the middle does the roll
"yeh ...yeh...they're having fun" 🤣
Aww, the last one looks like it's tired and doesn't know how to get ashore. The other two made it. What a beautiful scene to see in your pool.
That is just the sweetest thing! Look at them doggie paddling around the pool!! 💜
maybe dogs have been raccoon paddling this whole time... 🤔
As soon as I got done reading this comment, I noticed the raccoon closets to the camera at 0:34, potty in the pool.
@@dude-man LOL
So cute when he pooped in the pool.
Maybe it should be called raccoonie paddling.
Thanks to Terry Jackison the Pool Guy for the reminder to put ramps in pools so the wildlife, cats, dogs, birds have a means to get out of the water. Drowning is a real danger! Thanks Terry!
Same for cattle water tanks
You should cover your pools when you don't use them for a number of reasons:
1. To prevent wildlife from drowning.
2. To get less pollution in the water, hence have less need for chemicals to keep it clean.
3. To avoid evaporation (if you live in a hot and dry area) and the need to refill the pool (and use more water resources).
4. To teach those raccoons a lesson that the polite thing to do is to ask for permission before they dive in.
You are 100% correct
There was no danger to the raccoons, steps at the far end of the pool!
:44 I like when the guy in the back rolls over in the water. 🦝So cute! Hank is such a good boi to share his pool. 🐕🦺
0:42 the middle one does a barrel-roll and he said “yea, they’re having fun.” 🤣
Little stinkers! It's so funny seeing them move their front legs but not back. It's too cute. Looks like one of them was trying to float on it's back.
Epic fail. He tried though. 😅
The one left some tootsie rolls and, discolored water at 0:31.
@@SSArt98 😮😂
I know they're so sweet!! ❤️🥰❤️
@@SSArt98You're right, I missed that, had to re-watch.
Thank you for sharing your pool to these little creatures, and not shooing them away.
The family is fantastic for not interrupting the raccoons. Most people would loudly chase them out and you let them have their space. Kudos to you.
Look at the weather little arms go and how they roll around and just relax this is so cute
Racoons are remarkable, resourceful animals and I am fascinated by them. Too many people have a bad reaction of fear to them when they are doing nothing but surviving. Thank you for capturing this fun pool party.
I think this fear is sometimes warranted though …
While this video is definitely adorable , raccoons CAN be mean little bastards . I’ve also heard they are known to kill for sport though I don’t know if there is truth to that. Someone told me they will pull chickens heads through chain link Fences and just leave them there even though they could easily pull them onto the other side . Again, I don’t know if there is truth to that but I’ve heard it from more than one source .
@@alisha_madariagapeople have them as pets so they're probably not as horrible as people say, but remember animals have different personalities just like we do lol
So very relaxing to watch. Thanks for showing us the raw footage instead of turning it into a news segment.
Omg, they take a mini-break back float! And then reach the steps and turn right around to go back for more. So sweet!!!
If only all pool guests could be so polite!😊
Love this!!❤
The comment where the wife asks Are they having fun, husband says apparently 😂 made me laugh so hard.
Bless these sweet souls and keep them safe from human harm.
Amen 🙏🏽.
What harm?
Harm? Racoons do so much harm physical and financial to people. People don’t do any harm to them, its illegal.
I loved how you let them enjoy the pool. ❤️ I had an urge to give them some pool toys and serve up some iced tea for the pool party. 🙂 They were very polite pool guests too! Thanks for the video!
Rotten little adorable trash pandas! 😂😂 Raccoons are so smart and I never cease to be amazed by their behaviors. These three are just enjoying a little luxury - it must be an absolute treat for them. We rarely see them except at dusk and at night. Sometimes our house cameras will pick up video of them hanging out in the front and back yard.
So nice of these homeowners to let these siblings enjoy what might be their very first swim. Thankyou.
I love seeing animals relaxed and enjoying themselves.
awww they are precious
I love how they only swim w their front arms. They look so relaxed
Thank goodness, I'm not the only one who noticed that! I wasn't sure at first and now I can't help but wonder: do all raccoons do that? just these ones? why would they swim only like that?! I guess I'll have to google it...
This is adorable!! They look so cute just swimming around relaxing. They're clearly enjoying themselves
That last lil guy at the end be like “just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep Swimming SWIMMING swimming- what do ya dooooo? You just keep swimming, just keep swimming just keep swimming SWIMMING swimming…” 😂
I was just talking to a friend about the racoon family that's moved into her barn and how funny they are. They are pests, they destroy stuff, and they are so cute in this video that I'm not gonna say another bad thing about them.
Thanks for the sweet video.
I recently filmed a very funny duck pool party. There was a very large group of ducks, the pool is extra big and resort style with various areas in it…the ducks were paddling all over 😂, a couple of ducks got into a squabble. Others were showing off and being joyful flapping their wings on top of the water. It was funny as hell when they’d pop out of the pool to strut around or go nibble grass. If one did it a group of other ducks would copy them and follow along. It looked like a duck convention at a resort 😂😂😂😂😂. They were really enjoying themselves.
As a neuroethologist, I’m delighted to see raccoons displaying such a complex cognitive task that we humans believe son uniquely human but is actually the simple act of enjoying life. Something that we should learn from other “more simple “ animals.
As a vegan, I did learn, and put my beliefs into actions. I challenge you to do the same, ethologist.
@@NiaLaLa_V Please elaborate. What do you mean by that? What does being vegan have to do with enjoying life?
@@phaedrapage4217 she means let animals live thier lives too….47 year ovo lacto minimal pescatarian vegetarian here ❤
@@phaedrapage4217 you heart will open up. Every being becomes a friend, seeing precious and we will wann protected everything and everyone, and will cared for the creation. It’s an automatic process, which happens, when you stop eating meat, the violence of us is driven out.
And we do. It wanna harm anyone anymore. And with this enjoying life becomes so much sweeter and innocent…again… like the swimming of the raccoons.
A lot of people with a PhD have a Eugenics teaching of “the most fit” or “most evolved” which leads them naturally to look down upon all kinds of people, animals, plants, and other forms of life as “not alive enough to be real life” or “not like me enough to possibly be thinking like me.”
Here is yet another proof that all life is precious and a lot more alike than we get taught.
Why didn't you all bring them refreshments 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
So beautiful. Thank you for not hurting them and let them live there life too.
Hank is like LOOK IN THE POOL WHY ARE YOU JUST STANDING THERE
I love how they swim using their forelegs, their back ends just being towed along. So chilled! ,🤗😊
I noticed that too.
:46. Look at the way the middle one tries to float on his back 😂 ❤
haha, that was so freakin adorable. 💗💗
Raccoons: “Water’s fine guys, did anyone see the new Guardians of the Galaxy btw? Rocket killed it. “
That was so beautiful... they got a pool in the resort and they were chilled.... thank you so very much posting.
This has to be the funniest thing I have seen today. When she asked if they were having fun one of the raccoons was floating on his back.
Lol yes I saw that! Too funny!
@@claudiacanales2662 hahahaha
Cutie patooties 🙊🥰❣Looks like a Mom with two 'teens'. Loved when they paused to chill in place. How absolutely precious!! Put video on a loop and feel your worries melt away! 😂❤🎉
Racoons like to swim too. They are cute. They more likely are family going for an outing and found a pool and decided to enjoy a swim.
Cuteness overload! Absolutely precious💛
Did the third one that kind of wandered off to the other side made it out & figured where the steps were? I hope they all made it out safe & sound!
They don't even kick with their back feet they literally dog paddle 🤗
Their tails allow them to do that.😊
One of my favorite pets was a raccoon, he came and went at his discretion but loved sleeping with us in bed, and got into everything imaginable, he was absolutely adorable but mischievous is an understatement.
@cherryhoneyricola One quick story, Rocky got into the refrigerator and emptied everything on to the floor but that was the beginning he then emptied everything out of every jar, pickles, olives, Mayo, Mustard, broke every egg, food from the night before everything you can imagine a family of nine would have in a refrigerator. I walked into the kitchen and he was sitting in the middle of one of the worst messes I have ever seen in my life playing with and sampling the food and tossing the empty containers like nothing was wrong. He looked up at me reached up like I was going to pick him up and hug him like I normally did when I came home. It was truly a nightmare and a very costly one and he had no idea he did wrong. That ordeal cost me, I had to replace everything he destroyed but I couldn't replace all the cooked food he dumped onto the floor, my mother wanted him shot when she found out what he did, even with everything replaced I couldn't hide what he did. To this day I still laugh at the look of him sitting in the middle of that mess, this was back in 1972. He was mischievous as hell but the most loveable creature you could possibly imagine, he loved every one of us in our family including my grandmother. I could tell you a hundred stories of some of the outlandish things he got into but this gives you a little insight of his behavior.
@@wolfmannews1345 I have similar mixed feelings about keeping a polecats hybrid why the hell are rhymes so cute
"Are they having fun?" I always think the same thing when I see people swimming.
My favorite part is the kid asking if the raccoons are having fun, and the raccoon proceeds to do a flip 😆
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing! Why don't we see news like this every day?
Buddies parents had this happen quite often. His dad turned the pool light on and the mother racoon was squaking at the babies to get out 🤣
Then they would break into the garage and get the packages of nuts and eat them on the lounge chairs and leave the ones they didn't like
Funny 🙊Story!
Thank you for sharing😃👍 .
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that’s so darn cute and hilarious
Omg the one rolling over with its feet sticking up in the air having a good ole time had me dyin😂😂.
Racoons: Bartender! Where are our free drinks?
I've read once you see raccoons in the pool you have to check for parasites they harbor.
yup! they’re nasty but cute little critters. i got these things called critter prickers i put in my pool steps every night that keeps them out. they make the water soo nasty real quick and will literally crap while they swim 🥴
Yes, they’ll end up using the pool as a toilet and their poop has worm eggs
Why can't nothing just be cute and innocent. It seems all things get spoiled with diseases, bacteria, and foul smelling farts. Go figure
@@SR-uz1ov most people in the comments are ignorant. they are cute and innocent on tv shows and in books not in real life. in real life they are dirty disease carrying pests.
@@SR-uz1ov 🤗 Germs and bacteria are everywhere animals carry a lot around with them, just because they're cute, adorable and precious to look at doesn't mean they don't have unsafe stuff going on 💩🤢🤧🙄 It's Better To Be Safe Than Sorry‼😢
Oh gosh, thanks for this delightful scene on Memorial Day evening-I stumbled onto it and was "enchanted" by the sight-THANK YOU FOR NOT CHASING THEM AWAY, THANK YOU FOR NOT PANICKING, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING THEM WHAT WAS APPARENTLY A JOYFUL, SAFE VENTURE --- THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL, CLEVER, COMICAL CREATURES WITH SUPERIOR PARENTING SKILLS AND THANK YOU FOR RESPECTING THEM---PEACE FRIENDS
At 0:45 the one in the middle spinning slowly on his back 😂
0:44 when the middle raccoon turned & floated over like a statue. Guy was like, “Yup, they’re having fun.” 😂😂
Really cute! Great day for a swim!! ❤
So cute--thanks for letting them have a few minutes of pure enjoyment. I didn't know racoons could even swim. xo
@@GeorgiaRidgerunner Very interesting--multi-talented animals. Thanks!

" uh sweetheart who invented " the coons" over to our pool? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh that’s precious! Thanks for sharing!
I want your pool too!
From exasperation to "are they having fun?" SO ADORABLE and, same.
Raccoons living their BEST LIFE 😂 partying till the cows come home , the doggy paddle tho 🤭🤍 Love this for them .. great the pool owners just left them chill, be sure to get the cleaners out there asap😂 SUMMERS HERE 🎉 EVERYONE IN THE POOL😂
Clean what? Totally unnecessary. That's what the insane amount of chlorine is for.
I think one was treading water there for a bit. They are just too cute!
So sweet ❤ bless them. All animals are so precious 🇬🇧
😂😂😂 The woman sounded so distressed, “ What are they doing?” 😂😂
Love it! I just adore wildlife! Thanks for sharing! ❤
One of them is trying to learn the backstroke, but it's too buoyant, and rolls over...lol. Very cute!
I love it! Soo cute! So great it was captured on video!
This is hilarious! The only thing more adorable is when bears do this.
TY for posting. Love the joy of the critters.🙏🏻🇨🇦
