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.

Why More Anglezarke Dogs Are Swimming Every Week
Dog swimming has gone from niche to essential. Vets now recommend it for everything from weight management and arthritis to post-surgery recovery and puppy development. The results speak for themselves — dogs who swim regularly are fitter, happier, and healthier.
Our pool is just 20 minutes from Anglezarke, with sessions from £35 and free parking on site. Whether your dog is a natural water-lover or has never seen a pool, our team will make their experience safe, enjoyable, and beneficial.
Full-Body Workout
Swimming engages every major muscle group simultaneously. 30 minutes in the pool equals 90 minutes of walking.
All Breeds Welcome
From tiny Chihuahuas to giant Great Danes, we cater for every breed with adjustable depths and gentle ramp entry.
Open 7 Days a Week
Morning, afternoon, and evening sessions available 7 days a week — flexible enough to fit around any schedule.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Anglezarke Owners Ask — We Answer Straight
"What if my dog doesn't like it?"
In our experience, the vast majority of dogs take to our warm pool quickly. We never force dogs into the water — they enter at their own pace via a gentle ramp. The warm temperature makes it inviting rather than intimidating.
"Is it suitable for rescue dogs?"
We've helped dozens of rescue dogs build water confidence. Our private, calm environment is ideal for dogs who may be nervous or have unknown histories. We go at their pace, with patience and kindness.
"What ages of dog do you accept?"
From 12-week-old puppies (after second vaccination) to senior dogs of any age. We adjust every session to your dog's ability. Some of our most enthusiastic swimmers are well into their teens!
"Is it really better than outdoor swimming?"
Night and day. Our pool is heated to 28–32°C, filtered and treated for hygiene, has no currents or hidden hazards, and is available all year round regardless of weather. Plus it's completely private — no other dogs to stress yours.
WHAT DOG OWNERS SAY
What Lancashire Dog Owners Tell Us
"We drive from Anglezarke every week and it's worth every minute. Our spaniel absolutely loves the warm water and sleeps all evening afterwards!"
Sarah T.
Springer Spaniel, 4 years
"The water is so clean and warm — nothing like the filthy puddles and ponds our dog usually finds! He loves it and comes home smelling fresh instead of swampy."
Sophie W.
Springer Spaniel, 6 years
"Brilliant for our working cocker who does agility. The swimming keeps her fit, builds strength in muscle groups that agility alone doesn't work, and she adores it."
James H.
Working Cocker Spaniel, 4 years
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common Questions From Anglezarke Owners
Do you have changing facilities?
We have a drying area for dogs and space for you to change if you've been in the pool during an Owner In Pool session. We also have towels available.
Do Lancashire vets recommend your pool?
Yes — veterinary practices across Lancashire refer patients to us regularly for post-surgery rehabilitation, arthritis management, and weight loss. We're happy to work alongside your vet to support your dog's health.
Is the pool suitable for puppies from Anglezarke?
Yes! We accept puppies from 12 weeks old, after their second vaccination. Our gentle ramp entry and warm water make it the perfect environment for a puppy's first swim.
What happens during the first session?
We'll do a quick health chat about your dog's breed, age, and any conditions. Then we introduce them to the pool gradually via the ramp. First-timers get extra settling-in time. Most dogs are swimming happily within minutes.
How often should my dog swim?
For general fitness, once a week is brilliant. For weight loss or rehabilitation, twice a week is recommended. Even fortnightly sessions make a noticeable difference.
Do I need to bring anything for my dog's swim?
Just your dog and a towel! We provide life jackets, toys, and everything else needed. We also have a drying area on site so your dog can dry off before the journey home to Anglezarke.
Can my dog swim if they've been neutered recently?
We recommend waiting at least 14 days after suture removal and getting the all-clear from your vet before swimming. The wound must be fully healed before entering the pool.
