Bruiser is a rescued grizzly and one of the Single Vision’s residents – nature conservation center in Melrose, Florida, which cares and preserves endangered species. Since in this period of the year, the temperatures here can easily hit up to 90F, one of Bruiser’s special activity is belly flopping into the swimming pool. And who can blame him?!

Though the adorable footage is a bit oldie, it never fails to put smiles on everyone’s face. It was a hot summer day when Bruiser decided, well…to go for a swim. Or to be more specifically — a belly flop! Thankfully for us, an animal welfare worker decided to grab a camera and film the whole scene — including the bear’s epic smile at the end.

This video has been seen by millions — and understandably so. What better inspiration than Bruiser to remind us to make the most out of our summer? Take a peek:
