I think you'd play heck trying to keep him out of the water! Both of the breeds are water dogs by nature. Even my toy poodle lived in the pool with me. She would prefer to sit on the raft, so as not to mussy her coat though, lol. But she could swim.
My sil had two goldens and a pool, plus the dogs had a baby pool. When they couldn't be in the real pool, you could find them in the wading pool.
I think you need to consider the high maintanence coat and serious non stop energy levels, esp when they are younger. They only look layed back after a lot of excercise.
