> I had a lab and I use to take him swimming every single day. He never had a skin problem and never had fleas. I no longer live on the water but all I have to do is turn the faucet in my shower on and my beagle jumps right in. They like feeling clean just like we do.

Home bathing usually involves a soap/shampoo -- which tends to remove oils from the skin/coat.
In the case of retrievers (or other breeds) in rivers and streams, this doesn't happen.
