Swimming wasn't even the part that impressed me, that jump was as adorable as it was amazing

Easily the best part. Imagine how awesome it would be to have that guy's job.

"So what do you do?"

"Well, I spend all day toweling off the most ADORABLE little piglet after he jumps into the water and swims for a few feet."

Where do I buy my own swim piglet?

Or a piglet pool?

This looks like a sort of fairytale to me... It's too adorable to be real?

We see these guys every year at the fair. Go, Swifty, Go!

Does a new piglet take on the Swifty mantle every year?

u/GatitoFantastico 21d ago

Not entirely sure, tbh! It's a whole pig racing show where they wear little numbered coats and race around the little track for an Oreo. Swifty is an adorable halftime show. This last time they backed up and made a little tippy-tap start up before they jumped in 😄

Their trailer is very comfortable and has an awesome AC and they have a few different weight classes that "race" each other. They pretty much hang out in the AC, come out for maybe 3 minutes, run around a little track once, get an Oreo, and go back in to bed. They seem pretty happy and look healthy. Not a pig expert though, haha.

When and where is this festival?

u/GatitoFantastico 20d ago

They come to the Erie County Fair in NY every year. I believe they do NY State fair as well and I'm sure others all over the country.

Piggy getting dried up in a towel warms my heart!

u/VisiblePiano0 21d ago

Reminds me of my favourite kids book - pig in the pond.

u/foodwarriorprincess 20d ago

Del Mar county fair! 😄 I loved going to watch “Swifty” as a kid

u/inc_mplete 20d ago

That little towel at the end shows he’s a champ!

I would pay good money I tell u

u/2lit_ 21d ago

And later they will cook him for bacon

u/lostyourmarble 21d ago

I sure hope not. But I think he’s a teacup pig.

2

u/Smiles-Bite 21d ago

Teacup pigs are lies. Unless you want to get really sad and lose a bit of faith in humanity... Don't look them up.

u/lostyourmarble 20d ago

I know they get big, just not monstrously big.

u/Smiles-Bite 19d ago edited 19d ago

They are one of the biggest species of domestic pigs... Pot Belly Pigs get larger than many armchairs. Then there is the Juliana Pig and the Kunekune pig. These three species are the so-called teacup pigs. All three are slow growing so they stay small 'longer' but all three outclass Great Danes in weight and size when fully grown.

Can confirm, they do not become pets.

The first step to making a pig roast is marinating it.
