DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
What Most Hesketh Bank Dog Owners Don't Realise
Cold Weather Stops Play
When Hesketh Bank weather turns cold and wet, outdoor exercise drops off. Our heated indoor pool means fitness never stops.
Repetitive Exercise Injuries
Dogs who only walk or run develop overuse injuries. Swimming provides cross-training that builds balanced strength and prevents strain.
Limited Off-Lead Space
Not every Hesketh Bank dog has access to safe off-lead fields. Swimming provides intensive exercise in a secure, enclosed environment.
Sound familiar? Swimming solves all of these — safely and enjoyably.

WE HEAR YOU
Common Questions From Hesketh Bank
"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 it really better than outdoor swimming?"
Night and day. Our pool is heated to 28–32°C, filtered and treated for hygiene, has no currents or hidden hazards, and is available all year round regardless of weather. Plus it's completely private — no other dogs to stress yours.
"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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Dog Swimming Near Hesketh Bank — FAQs
Is the drive from Hesketh Bank worth it?
At just 5 minutes, most Hesketh Bank dog owners tell us the drive is nothing compared to the results. Free parking, a 30-minute session, and a happy, tired dog on the way home.
How do I book a session from Hesketh Bank?
You can call us on 07359 881320, fill in the enquiry form on this page, or email info@westlancsk9splash.co.uk. We're open 7 days a week, 9am–8pm.
Is swimming better than walking for dogs?
Swimming burns approximately 5 times more calories than walking and builds muscle 15 times more efficiently — all with zero joint impact. It's particularly beneficial for overweight, arthritic, or recovering dogs.
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.
Do I need a vet referral?
No referral is needed for general swimming sessions. However, if your dog has a specific medical condition, we recommend consulting your vet first. Many vets across Lancashire actively refer to us.
Do I need to book in advance?
Yes — sessions are by appointment only to ensure every dog gets private pool time. We recommend booking at least a few days ahead, especially for weekend sessions. Call 07359 881320 or use our online form.
What's the best time of day to swim from Hesketh Bank?
Quietest slots tend to be weekday mornings. Evenings and weekends book up fastest — Hesketh Bank owners working 9-to-5 should book 1-2 weeks ahead for those.
