WHY DOGS NEED MORE
Hidden Limits of Exercise for Rimington Dogs
Stiff Joints & Slowing Down
Older dogs in Rimington often slow down because walks hurt their joints. Swimming gives them exercise without the pain.
Limited Off-Lead Space
Not every Rimington dog has access to safe off-lead fields. Swimming provides intensive exercise in a secure, enclosed environment.
Nowhere Safe to Swim
Rivers and lakes near Rimington 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.

WE HEAR YOU
Rimington Owners Ask — We Answer Straight
"Do you offer discounts for regular swimmers from Rimington?"
Yes — we offer multi-session packages at a discount for regular swimmers. Ask about our package deals when you book. Many Rimington dog owners find monthly packages the best value.
"What ages of dog do you accept?"
From 12-week-old puppies (after second vaccination) to senior dogs of any age. We adjust every session to your dog's ability. Some of our most enthusiastic swimmers are well into their teens!
"How does this compare to a vet hydrotherapy centre?"
Our sessions are £35-40 compared to £50-80+ at vet hydrotherapy centres. Our pool is the same quality — heated, filtered, purpose-built. For dogs needing rehabilitation, we're happy to work alongside your vet.
"What if my dog has health issues?"
We cater for all conditions — arthritis, hip dysplasia, obesity, post-surgery recovery, and more. We'll ask about your dog's health before their first session and tailor everything accordingly. We welcome vet referrals too.
WHAT DOG OWNERS SAY
Real Stories From Dog Owners Like You
"Best money we spend each month. Our lab is 11 and her arthritis has improved so much since we started regular swims. She moves like a younger dog now."
David & Karen W.
Labrador, 11 years
"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
"The water is so clean and warm — nothing like the filthy puddles and ponds our dog usually finds! He loves it and comes home smelling fresh instead of swampy."
Sophie W.
Springer Spaniel, 6 years
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common Questions From Rimington Owners
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.
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.
How warm is the pool?
Our pool is heated to between 28°C and 32°C — warmer than most human swimming pools. This temperature is ideal for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors.
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 Rimington families often find this the most cost-effective way to swim regularly.
What happens if my dog doesn't want to swim?
No dog is ever forced into the water. If your dog isn't ready, we let them explore poolside and build confidence at their own pace. Most dogs swim happily within their first or second visit.
How deep is the pool?
Our pool has adjustable depths to suit every size of dog, from toy breeds to giant breeds. Dogs enter via a gradual ramp, so they're always in control of how deep they go.
What's the best time of day to swim from Rimington?
Quietest slots tend to be weekday mornings. Evenings and weekends book up fastest — Rimington owners working 9-to-5 should book 1-2 weeks ahead for those.
