COMMON CONCERNS

Sound Familiar? Elswick Dogs Deserve Better

Muddy, Dirty Outdoor Swimming

Tired of your dog coming home filthy from outdoor water? Our crystal-clear, filtered pool means your dog swims clean and stays clean.

Breed-Specific Exercise Needs

Working breeds, sporting dogs, and high-energy breeds in Elswick need more than standard walks. Swimming provides the intensity they crave.

Bored & Under-Exercised

A tired dog is a happy dog. If your Elswick pup is destructive, anxious, or pulling on walks, they're probably not getting enough exercise.

Sound familiar? Swimming solves all of these — safely and enjoyably.

FOR ELSWICK DOGS

Why Elswick Dog Owners Are Switching to Indoor Swimming

Rivers and lakes near Elswick might look inviting, but they carry real risks — blue-green algae, strong currents, sharp debris, and unpredictable water temperatures. Our purpose-built pool eliminates every one of these dangers while providing a better workout.

At 28–32°C, our pool water is therapeutic as well as enjoyable. Dogs exercise harder, recover faster, and genuinely love coming back. That's why families from Elswick make our pool part of their regular routine.

Full-Body Workout

Swimming engages every major muscle group simultaneously. 30 minutes in the pool equals 90 minutes of walking.

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.

Completely Private Sessions

No crowded pools, no stressed dogs — just your dog getting our full attention in a calm, controlled environment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Got Questions? We've Got Answers

Do you offer group sessions for dogs from Elswick?

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 Elswick.

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.

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.

What's the best time of day to swim from Elswick?

Quietest slots tend to be weekday mornings. Evenings and weekends book up fastest — Elswick owners working 9-to-5 should book 1-2 weeks ahead for those.

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.

What happens during the first session?

We'll do a quick health chat about your dog's breed, age, and any conditions. Then we introduce them to the pool gradually via the ramp. First-timers get extra settling-in time. Most dogs are swimming happily within minutes.

Is the pool available for birthday parties or special occasions?

We love celebrating milestones! Contact us about special occasion bookings. Many Elswick dog owners book celebration swims for birthdays or adoption anniversaries.
