COMMON CONCERNS
Common Questions From Crosby
"What if my dog can't swim at all?"
Many dogs who visit us have never swum before — that's perfectly fine. We use life jackets, gradual ramp entry, and gentle encouragement. Swimming is a natural instinct for most dogs; they just need the right introduction.
"Do you offer discounts for regular swimmers from Crosby?"
Yes — we offer multi-session packages at a discount for regular swimmers. Ask about our package deals when you book. Many Crosby dog owners find monthly packages the best value.
"What happens if my dog has an accident in the pool?"
It happens and it's not a problem! Our filtration system handles it quickly and we're well prepared. We ask that dogs are walked before sessions and we recommend not feeding them within 2 hours of swimming.
"What do I need to bring?"
Just your dog and a towel. If you're doing Owner In Pool, bring swimwear too. We provide life jackets, toys, and everything else needed. Free parking means you don't even need change for a meter.
WHAT DOG OWNERS SAY
Why Dog Owners Keep Coming Back

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Got Questions? We've Got Answers
Do I need to book in advance?

How wet will my car be on the way back to Crosby?
Hardly at all. We have a dedicated drying area on site and most dogs are touch-dry before they leave. Bring a towel for the back seat just in case.
