Any tips on how to cure a water shy dog?

Sonny M asked:

I have a Golden Retriever/Chow mix female, she’s about 3 years old now. we’ve adopted her from the SPCA when she was 1. She hates water, we took her to the aquatic center for an even called “Bark n Splash”. There were a lot of dogs there and we were hoping it would cure her water shyness if she went and played with other dogs in the pools. It didn’t work I even pulled her in and showed her it’s fun, she didn’t like it. So i’m still having problems, I like swimming and I want the dog to get exercise too, but she wont go swimming. Can anybody help?
