Did you know that the animals at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo take a swim test before they are allowed to wade in the zoo's waters?

This week's picture is a throwback to when the African lion cubs were taking their swim test!

So, can you come up with a caption for what this little guy is thinking in the photo?

We'll post one caption for a new photo each week, and the person with the most creative caption will win a Patch “swag kit”—complete with a tote bag, metal water bottle, magnet and pen.

Patch local editors will pick the winners. We’re a tough crowd...so make us laugh!

Check out last week's winner and tell us if you agree with our choice!

Don't forget to hit the "keep me posted" button below to stay updated on the caption contest! Keep up with all your local news with our newsletter—if you have a Patch account, click on your name, then on "newsletter" at the top right to sign up.
