WHY DOGS NEED MORE
Why Walks Alone Aren't Enough for Farington Dogs
Behavioural Problems at Home
Chewing, barking, digging — these are often signs of under-exercise. Dogs from Farington who swim regularly are calmer and better behaved.
Ageing Without Support
Senior dogs in Farington deserve better than shortened walks and a life on the sofa. Swimming keeps them mobile, engaged, and comfortable.
Stiff Joints & Slowing Down
Older dogs in Farington often slow down because walks hurt their joints. Swimming gives them exercise without the pain.
Sound familiar? Swimming solves all of these — safely and enjoyably.

How Often Should Your Farington Dog Swim?
Most dogs from Farington settle into a weekly or fortnightly rhythm. Hydrotherapy and Weighty Woofers cases lean weekly. Fitness and fun-focused regulars often run fortnightly. There's no single right answer — only what fits your dog and your schedule.
The biggest mistake is treating swimming as a one-off treat. Real benefits — muscle, weight loss, joint comfort, behaviour — build with consistency, not intensity. A regular Farington swimmer outpaces an occasional one every time.
Year-Round Availability
Rain, snow, or heatwave — our indoor heated pool means your dog's exercise never depends on the weather.
Mental Stimulation
The sensory experience of swimming — water pressure, temperature, movement — provides intense mental engagement alongside physical exercise.
Completely Private Sessions
No crowded pools, no stressed dogs — just your dog getting our full attention in a calm, controlled environment.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
What Farington Dog Owners Want to Know
"Can I get in the pool with my dog?"
Yes! Our Owner In Pool sessions let you swim alongside your dog. It's a bonding experience like no other. We provide everything you need — just bring your swimwear and a towel.
"Is the pool big enough for large breeds?"
Absolutely. We welcome everything from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. The pool has adjustable depths and ample space for even the largest breeds to swim comfortably.
"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 swimming tiring for dogs?"
Very! 30 minutes of swimming is equivalent to about 90 minutes of walking in terms of energy expenditure. Most dogs sleep soundly on the drive home to Farington and are calm all evening.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common Questions From Farington Owners
How often should my dog swim?
For general fitness, once a week is brilliant. For weight loss or rehabilitation, twice a week is recommended. Even fortnightly sessions make a noticeable difference.
How do regular swimmers from Farington schedule their visits?
Most regular swimmers from Farington book a standing weekly or fortnightly slot. This ensures they get their preferred day and time. We're flexible with rescheduling when life gets in the way.
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 Farington owners love watching their dog's progress from week to week.
Is there parking at the pool?
Yes — free parking right by the entrance at Pompian Brow Farm, Bretherton, PR26 9AQ. Easy access from Farington.
How wet will my car be on the way back to Farington?
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.
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.
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.
