How to Swim

How to Swim (1942) — a Disney short you can watch online on iFILM — sends Goofy to the beach with a swimming lesson to deliver. Director Jack Kinney keeps the setup simple: a plan, a striped bathing suit, and then absolutely nothing going according to either.

Whether Goofy is practising at home or hitting the actual water, the result is the same kind of cheerful disaster that made these shorts work. Eight minutes of Kinney-era Disney slapstick. Stream on iFILM.
