Swimming at the Local Pool
Dogs welcomed this week
Many dogs love to swim, and so do many people. Being able to do it together makes it even much better for many pairs. For residents of Charleston, West Virginia, this week provides a special opportunity. At the end of the season, one pool is open to dogs. In the week before season’s end, dogs are allowed to come in and have a good time in the water. Soon after, the pool is drained for the winter. |

In Fort Collins, Colorado we have a similar weekend called the Pooch Plunge at the city pool. It's great! My dog went for the first time this summer and it was so fun!
Yep We have a Doggie Dip in Landa Park spring fed pool twice a year! Quite fun for all! (New Braunfels, TX)
In Madison Heights, Michigan, the local county park closes the public pool and the next day it is open for resident dogs. They set up times for different sized dogs throughout the day so every size has a shot at either afternoons or evenings.
Yes! One of the local pools here in London Ont has done a Pooch Plunge at the end of summer for the past few years. They started it to raise money for oxygen masks for animals to be put onto firetrucks. This year's my first year to try it out!
I have an in-ground pool that desperatly needs to be swam in. I am going to host a "Paws in the Pool" party at my house for the neighborhood dogs. All because I read this blog. Thanks!
Chelsea--Very cool! Please write to let us know how your swim event goes!
Happens every year at the end of the season for the pool in Gage Park, Topeka, Kansas.
Several pools in the Atlanta area allow end of season doggy swims. Some use it as a fund raiser. Unfortunately the city parks, lakes, rivers and public pools are not dog friendly the rest of the year. Our poor lab only gets to swim when we visit family in Illinois or go to dog friendly beaches in Florida.
At the end of season, just before they drain the city pool for the winter, you are allowed to bring your to swim.
Yep! TONS of pools and even water parks here in the Dallas area let the dogs swim before the pools close for the season!
