Swimming offers numerous benefits for dogs, making it an excellent form of exercise and enrichment. It promotes cardiovascular health, muscle strength, and joint flexibility, particularly beneficial for senior dogs or those recovering from injuries. Swimming also helps dogs burn off excess energy, reducing behavioral issues related to boredom or pent-up energy. Moreover, it’s a low-impact activity that’s gentle on joints, making it suitable for dogs of all ages and fitness levels.

The first step to introducing your dog to our pool is booking a 40-minute orientation swim. This personalized experience is led by a dedicated instructor who assesses your dog’s swimming abilities and comfort level. Each dog receives a properly fitted life jacket for safety, along with toys and treats to create a positive association with swimming. The session focuses on familiarizing your dog with the pool environment, including learning how to enter and exit using the ramp.

By the end of the session, if your dog is comfortable entering and exiting the water independently, you are ready to book our recreational swim session.

For dogs needing additional support, our ongoing swim training sessions are designed to gradually build confidence and refine swimming skills over time.
