COMMON CONCERNS
Hidden Limits of Exercise for Hightown Dogs
Separation Anxiety
Dogs who don't burn enough energy develop anxiety. A 30-minute swim leaves dogs calm, content, and ready to relax at home.
No Social Swimming Options
Finding controlled, supervised swimming for dogs near Hightown is difficult. Our purpose-built facility fills that gap perfectly.
Ageing Without Support
Senior dogs in Hightown deserve better than shortened walks and a life on the sofa. Swimming keeps them mobile, engaged, and comfortable.
Expensive vet bills and medication only manage symptoms. Swimming addresses the root cause.

WHY DOG OWNERS VISIT US
What Hightown Dog Owners Come to Us For

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.

Bring up to 4 dogs in one Owner In Pool session at £35. Perfect for families with multiple dogs in Hightown.
Why Hightown Dogs Benefit From Regular Swimming

YOUR QUESTIONS
Concerns? Let Us Put Your Mind at Rest
"How do I know which session type is right?"
Owner In Pool if you want to swim with your dog. Group Classes for social, confident dogs. Swim Coach for nervous dogs, rehabilitation, or therapeutic sessions. Weighty Woofers for weight management. We're happy to recommend — just ask.
"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.
"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 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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Dog Swimming Near Hightown — FAQs
Is there anything to do near the pool while we're in Hightown?
We're rurally placed near Ormskirk, with quiet lanes and farmland walks within a few minutes. Some owners turn a session into a half-day out with their dog.
How far is West Lancs K9 Splash from Hightown?
We're approximately 20 minutes by car from Hightown. Free parking is available on site at Pompian Brow Farm, PR26 9AQ.
How wet will my car be on the way back to Hightown?
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.
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 Hightown.
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.
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 Merseyside actively refer to us.
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.
