WHY CHOOSE US

What a Typical Session Looks Like for a Lostock Hall Dog

You arrive at our Bretherton site after a 10-minute drive from Lostock Hall, park metres from the pool door, and we'll meet you and your dog at reception. New dogs get a short, calm introduction to the pool environment before anything else happens.

Once your dog is comfortable, we walk them down the gentle ramp into 28–32°C water. The full 30 minutes belongs to your dog — no shared sessions, no clock-watching. We finish with a towel-off, a debrief, and you're on your way.

Our water is continuously filtered and treated to the highest standards. No mud, no algae, no hidden hazards.

Expert Supervision

Every session is supervised by our experienced team who know dogs, understand behaviour, and prioritise safety.

GOOD TO KNOW

Honest Answers to Lostock Hall Owners' Real Questions

"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.

Yes — we offer multi-session packages at a discount for regular swimmers. Ask about our package deals when you book. Many Lostock Hall dog owners find monthly packages the best value.

"Brought our 14-week-old puppy for a first swim and the staff were amazing. So gentle and patient. She loved it and now we go every fortnight."

Amy L.

Miniature Dachshund, 14 weeks

"My elderly staffy had almost given up on walks. After a month of weekly swims she's climbing the stairs again and playing in the garden. I cried the first time I saw it."

Tracey G.

Staffordshire Bull Terrier, 12 years
