DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
Hidden Limits of Exercise for Hale Village Dogs
Bored & Under-Exercised
A tired dog is a happy dog. If your Hale Village pup is destructive, anxious, or pulling on walks, they're probably not getting enough exercise.
Stiff Joints & Slowing Down
Older dogs in Hale Village often slow down because walks hurt their joints. Swimming gives them exercise without the pain.
Ageing Without Support
Senior dogs in Hale Village deserve better than shortened walks and a life on the sofa. Swimming keeps them mobile, engaged, and comfortable.
Sound familiar? Swimming solves all of these — safely and enjoyably.

WHAT SETS US APART
How Often Should Your Hale Village Dog Swim?
Most dogs from Hale Village 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 Hale Village swimmer outpaces an occasional one every time.
Gentle Ramp Entry
Dogs enter via a gradual ramp — no jumping required. Perfect for nervous first-timers and dogs with mobility issues.
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.
Zero Joint Impact
Water supports 90% of body weight, making swimming the safest form of exercise for dogs of all ages and conditions.
Not Sure If Swimming Is Right for Your Dog?
Tell us a bit about your Hale Village dog and we'll honestly say whether the pool would help. No pressure, no sales pitch.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common Questions About Dog Swimming Near Hale Village
Do you have changing facilities?
We have a drying area for dogs and space for you to change if you've been in the pool during an Owner In Pool session. We also have towels available.
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 long is each swimming session?
Sessions are 30 minutes of pool time. We recommend arriving 10 minutes early for your first visit so we can complete a quick health assessment.
How far is West Lancs K9 Splash from Hale Village?
We're approximately 30 minutes by car from Hale Village. Free parking is available on site at Pompian Brow Farm, PR26 9AQ.
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.
Is the pool hygienic?
Our pool water is continuously filtered and treated to the highest standards. We maintain strict hygiene protocols and the water is crystal-clear at all times. It's far cleaner than any river, lake, or outdoor pool.
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 Hale Village owners love watching their dog's progress from week to week.
