WHAT DOG OWNERS SAY
Don't Just Take Our Word for It
"The owner-in-pool session is such a unique experience. Swimming with my golden retriever in warm water — it's our favourite thing to do together."
Chris B.
Golden Retriever, 3 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
"Our vet specifically recommended this pool for our dog's elbow dysplasia. Six sessions in and the improvement is measurable. Genuinely grateful we found this place."
Andrew C.
Rottweiler, 5 years
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Dog Swimming Near Farington — FAQs
Do you accept dogs with disabilities?
Yes — we welcome dogs with physical disabilities, amputations, and mobility challenges. Swimming is often the best exercise for these dogs because water supports their body and allows free movement.
Can I watch my dog swim?
Absolutely. You can watch from poolside during Swim Coach sessions, or jump in yourself during Owner In Pool sessions. Many Farington owners love watching their dog's progress from week to week.
Is the pool available for birthday parties or special occasions?
We love celebrating milestones! Contact us about special occasion bookings. Many Farington dog owners book celebration swims for birthdays or adoption anniversaries.
Can aggressive dogs swim?
Every session is completely private — your dog will never encounter other dogs. If your dog is reactive or anxious around other animals, our private sessions are the perfect solution.
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.
How does the pricing work?
Owner In Pool and Group Classes are £35 per 30-minute session. Swim Coach and Weighty Woofers are £40. No membership fees, no contracts — just book when you want.
Is there parking at the pool?
