If you want your dog to love the water, this is your ticket!
Your dog's accomplishment of becoming comfortable in the water will help become a more confident dog.
Our 18’x 50’ indoor pool is maintained at a comfortable 80°F. The depth is graduated from 10 inches to 4½ feet deep, which makes it both comfortable for novice swimmers and loads of fun for our advanced canine swimmers. We have life jackets available in a variety of sizes. Your dog will never want to get out of the pool!
Dogs who swim love it; and good swimmers are so much fun to watch!

What a phenomenal way to improve your dog’s mental and physical health!
● Swimming provides exercise that is easy on joints
● Improves muscle strength and tone
● Promotes cardiovascular health
● Improves their metabolic rate
● Great for healthy weight loss
● Is a great outlet for your dog’s extra energy
● Great for their mental health
Swimming is an exercise they can do their entire lives. Varied activities help to keep your dog alert, focused, and happy.
● Proof of current Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella vaccinations on file before checking in. We recommend a fecal parasite exam.
● Your dog's favorite pool toy
● Pool clothes (optional) - your dog's introduction to the pool will be much more successful if you, as their human, lead by example.
● If your dog doesn't have a lot of experience, come prepared to get in the water with them. He will be much more comfortable with his favorite human by his side.
● Swimming takes a lot of energy. Don't be surprised if your dog is ready for a long nap after their swim. They'll be tired from their full-body exercise. Be sure to have fresh water available to them as they may be thirsty.
● Be sure to give your dog a potty stop before you enter the pool room, and be sure to take potty breaks periodically.
