THE PROBLEM

Sound Familiar? Accrington Dogs Deserve Better

Cold Weather Stops Play

When Accrington weather turns cold and wet, outdoor exercise drops off. Our heated indoor pool means fitness never stops.

Nowhere Safe to Swim

Rivers and lakes near Accrington can be dangerous — strong currents, blue-green algae, hidden debris. Your dog deserves a safe, controlled environment.

Muddy, Dirty Outdoor Swimming

Tired of your dog coming home filthy from outdoor water? Our crystal-clear, filtered pool means your dog swims clean and stays clean.

Expensive vet bills and medication only manage symptoms. Swimming addresses the root cause.

FOR ACCRINGTON DOGS

How Often Should Your Accrington Dog Swim?

Most dogs from Accrington settle into a weekly or fortnightly rhythm. Hydrotherapy and Weighty Woofers cases lean weekly. Fitness and fun-focused regulars often run fortnightly. There's no single right answer — only what fits your dog and your schedule.

The biggest mistake is treating swimming as a one-off treat. Real benefits — muscle, weight loss, joint comfort, behaviour — build with consistency, not intensity. A regular Accrington swimmer outpaces an occasional one every time.

Open 7 Days a Week

Morning, afternoon, and evening sessions available 7 days a week — flexible enough to fit around any schedule.

Expert Supervision

Every session is supervised by our experienced team who know dogs, understand behaviour, and prioritise safety.

Free Parking On Site

Pull up right next to the pool entrance at Pompian Brow Farm. No parking charges, no long walks from the car.

WHY DOG OWNERS VISIT US

What Accrington Dog Owners Come to Us For

Breed-Specific Exercise

Water breeds get the swimming they were designed for. Non-swimmers get the support and guidance to enjoy it safely.

Managing Reactive Dog Exercise

Dogs who can't be around other dogs still need exercise. Our completely private sessions mean zero encounters with other animals.

Holiday Preparation

Taking your dog to the coast? Pool-confident dogs handle beaches and boats much better. Build water skills before you travel.

Post-Walk Cool Down

Some owners combine a walk in the countryside with a swim session — the ultimate exercise day for their dog.

Gentle Exercise for Older Dogs

Warm water eases stiff joints and supports body weight. Senior dogs who struggle on walks often thrive in our pool.

Trusted by Dog Owners Across Lancashire

Hundreds of dog owners from Accrington and across Lancashire swim with us regularly. Vets refer to us, dog trainers recommend us, and families come back week after week because the results are undeniable.

COMMON CONCERNS

Your Questions, Answered

"Do I need to book in advance?"

We recommend booking ahead as sessions fill up, especially evenings and weekends. Call 07359 881320, fill in our form, or email us. We try to accommodate short-notice bookings when possible.

"Is the water clean and safe?"

Our water is continuously filtered and treated to exceed hygiene standards. It's crystal-clear at all times — far cleaner and safer than any river, lake, or outdoor dog pool you'll find near Accrington.

"Can my dog swim if they're on medication?"

Usually yes — but always mention any medication when booking. Some medications may need timing adjustments around swimming. We'll check with you and advise accordingly.

"How much does it cost?"

Sessions start from just £35 for Owner In Pool and Group Classes, and £40 for Swim Coach and Weighty Woofers. Compare that to a vet hydrotherapy session at £50–80+ and you're getting outstanding value.

Is Accrington actually closer than the next nearest pool?

Our pool has adjustable depths to suit every size of dog, from toy breeds to giant breeds. Dogs enter via a gradual ramp, so they're always in control of how deep they go.

Yes — up to four dogs from the same household in an Owner In Pool session. Multi-dog Accrington families often find this the most cost-effective way to swim regularly.

Is the pool available for birthday parties or special occasions?

We love celebrating milestones! Contact us about special occasion bookings. Many Accrington dog owners book celebration swims for birthdays or adoption anniversaries.

Our pool is heated to between 28°C and 32°C — warmer than most human swimming pools. This temperature is ideal for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors.
