DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
Why Walks Alone Aren't Enough for Fence Dogs
Bored & Under-Exercised
A tired dog is a happy dog. If your Fence pup is destructive, anxious, or pulling on walks, they're probably not getting enough exercise.
Behavioural Problems at Home
Chewing, barking, digging — these are often signs of under-exercise. Dogs from Fence who swim regularly are calmer and better behaved.
Nowhere Safe to Swim
Rivers and lakes near Fence can be dangerous — strong currents, blue-green algae, hidden debris. Your dog deserves a safe, controlled environment.
Expensive vet bills and medication only manage symptoms. Swimming addresses the root cause.

OUR POOL
Why Fence Owners Drive Past Other Pools to Reach Us
There are larger pools elsewhere in Lancashire, and some that are closer to certain parts of Fence. What brings owners to Bretherton is the combination — purpose-built for dogs, properly heated, genuinely private, and run by people who know each regular's dog by name.
Once you've experienced a fully private, fully focused 30-minute session, shared or rushed alternatives feel like a step backwards. That's the most common piece of feedback we get from Fence dog owners who tried elsewhere first.
Zero Joint Impact
Water supports 90% of body weight, making swimming the safest form of exercise for dogs of all ages and conditions.
Heated to 28–32°C
Our pool maintains a therapeutic temperature all year round — warm, clean, and comfortable for every breed and age.
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.
Spaces Fill Fast for Evenings & Weekends From Fence
Open 7 days. Most Fence regulars book a week ahead — message us today to lock in your preferred slot.

YOUR QUESTIONS
Before You Visit — Your Questions Answered
"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.
"Is the pool big enough for large breeds?"
Absolutely. We welcome everything from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. The pool has adjustable depths and ample space for even the largest breeds to swim comfortably.
"Is swimming tiring for dogs?"
Very! 30 minutes of swimming is equivalent to about 90 minutes of walking in terms of energy expenditure. Most dogs sleep soundly on the drive home to Fence and are calm all evening.
"Is one session enough to see results?"
Most dogs show visible improvement in mood and energy after just one session. For therapeutic or weight-loss goals, we recommend weekly sessions for 6–8 weeks to see transformative results.
WHAT DOG OWNERS SAY
What Lancashire Dog Owners Tell Us
"We live near Fence and this has become our weekly treat. The staff remember our dog's name, know her quirks, and always make her feel special. That personal touch matters."
Helen & Rob F.
Whippet, 4 years
"Our Weimaraner has more energy than we can handle with walks alone. Swimming has been transformational — she's calmer at home and actually settles in the evenings now."
Tom & Kelly J.
Weimaraner, 2 years
"First time bringing our rescue greyhound. Didn't think he'd take to water but the staff were incredible — so calm and patient. He was swimming within 10 minutes!"
Michaela T.
Greyhound, 5 years
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Fence Dog Swimming — Your Questions Answered
Can I bring two dogs from the same household?
Yes — up to four dogs from the same household in an Owner In Pool session. Multi-dog Fence families often find this the most cost-effective way to swim regularly.
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 you offer group sessions for dogs from Fence?
Yes! Our Group Classes at £35 per session are great for socialised dogs. You can bring up to 4 dogs in an Owner In Pool session too — perfect for multi-dog households in Fence.
Do I need a vet referral?
No referral is needed for general swimming sessions. However, if your dog has a specific medical condition, we recommend consulting your vet first. Many vets across Lancashire actively refer to us.
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.
Is the pool chlorinated?
We use a professional water treatment system that keeps the water crystal-clear and hygienic without harsh chemical smells. Our system is far gentler on dogs' skin and eyes than traditional chlorinated pools.
Are there any health conditions that prevent swimming?
Dogs with open wounds, active skin infections, untreated ear infections, or uncontrolled seizures should not swim until cleared by a vet. We're happy to advise if you're unsure about your dog's suitability.
