RECOGNISE THE SIGNS?
The Daily Reality for Heysham Dogs Without Swimming
Separation Anxiety
Dogs who don't burn enough energy develop anxiety. A 30-minute swim leaves dogs calm, content, and ready to relax at home.
Breed-Specific Exercise Needs
Working breeds, sporting dogs, and high-energy breeds in Heysham need more than standard walks. Swimming provides the intensity they crave.
Limited Off-Lead Space
Not every Heysham 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.

OUR POOL
The Swimming Pool Built Specifically for Dogs Near Heysham
This isn't a converted human pool or a farmer's pond — our facility was purpose-built for canine swimming. The gentle ramp entry lets dogs walk into the water at their own pace. The water is continuously filtered, treated, and heated to the perfect therapeutic temperature.
Whether you're in Heysham or anywhere in Lancashire, you won't find a more professional, hygienic, or dog-friendly swimming environment. That's why vets recommend us, dog walkers trust us, and owners from across the region keep coming back.
Mental Stimulation
The sensory experience of swimming — water pressure, temperature, movement — provides intense mental engagement alongside physical exercise.
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.
Open 7 Days a Week
Morning, afternoon, and evening sessions available 7 days a week — flexible enough to fit around any schedule.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Before You Visit — Your Questions Answered
"What if my dog is scared of water?"
We specialise in nervous swimmers. Our gentle ramp entry lets dogs walk in at their own pace, the warm water is inviting rather than shocking, and our experienced team has helped hundreds of first-timers. Most dogs are swimming happily by the end of session one.
"Can my dog swim if they're on medication?"
Usually yes — but always mention any medication when booking. Some medications may need timing adjustments around swimming. We'll check with you and advise accordingly.
"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.
"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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything You Need to Know
Can my dog swim after eating?
We recommend waiting at least an hour after feeding before swimming — just like humans. This helps prevent discomfort and allows your dog to get the most from their session.
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 available for birthday parties or special occasions?
We love celebrating milestones! Contact us about special occasion bookings. Many Heysham dog owners book celebration swims for birthdays or adoption anniversaries.
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.
Are there any dogs you can't accept?
We welcome all breeds and ages from 12 weeks. Dogs must be up to date on vaccinations. Dogs with open wounds, infectious conditions, or severe uncontrolled aggression may need to wait or have a vet consultation first.
Is the pool suitable for puppies from Heysham?
Yes! We accept puppies from 12 weeks old, after their second vaccination. Our gentle ramp entry and warm water make it the perfect environment for a puppy's first swim.
How do regular swimmers from Heysham schedule their visits?
Most regular swimmers from Heysham 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.
