WHY DOGS NEED MORE
What Most Croston Dog Owners Don't Realise
Breed-Specific Exercise Needs
Working breeds, sporting dogs, and high-energy breeds in Croston need more than standard walks. Swimming provides the intensity they crave.
Behavioural Problems at Home
Chewing, barking, digging — these are often signs of under-exercise. Dogs from Croston who swim regularly are calmer and better behaved.
Hot Weather Exercise Limits
Summer heat makes exercising dogs from Croston risky. Our temperature-controlled indoor pool is safe and comfortable in any weather.
Sound familiar? Swimming solves all of these — safely and enjoyably.

OUR POOL
Indoor Dog Swimming — The Smarter Choice for Croston
When Lancashire weather turns cold and wet — which, let's be honest, happens often — outdoor exercise drops off. Dogs get bored, gain weight, and develop behavioural problems. Our heated indoor pool means your dog's exercise routine never misses a beat, regardless of the forecast.
Every session is private, so your dog gets our full attention without the stress of other dogs. We provide life jackets, toys, and expert supervision. You just bring your dog, a towel, and 5 minutes of driving time.
Heated to 28–32°C
Our pool maintains a therapeutic temperature all year round — warm, clean, and comfortable for every breed and age.
All Breeds Welcome
From tiny Chihuahuas to giant Great Danes, we cater for every breed with adjustable depths and gentle ramp entry.
Open 7 Days a Week

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common Questions From Croston Owners
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 Croston owners love watching their dog's progress from week to week.
What should I bring for my dog's first swim?
Just your dog and a towel — we supply everything else including life jackets and toys. If you're joining in an Owner In Pool session, bring swimwear too. We have a drying area on site.
Do you offer group sessions for dogs from Croston?
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 Croston.
Is the pool available for birthday parties or special occasions?
We love celebrating milestones! Contact us about special occasion bookings. Many Croston dog owners book celebration swims for birthdays or adoption anniversaries.
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.
Do you do gift vouchers for dog owners in Croston?
Yes. Vouchers are a popular present for Croston dog owners — birthdays, Christmas, or a new puppy in the family. Call 07359 881320 to arrange one.
What's the difference between Swim Coach and Owner In Pool?
In Owner In Pool sessions, you get in the water with your dog. In Swim Coach sessions, one of our trained team members is in the pool guiding your dog — ideal for rehabilitation, nervous dogs, or when you'd rather watch from poolside.
