THE PROBLEM
The Issues Hightown Dog Owners Talk to Us About
No Social Swimming Options
Finding controlled, supervised swimming for dogs near Hightown is difficult. Our purpose-built facility fills that gap perfectly.
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.
Bored & Under-Exercised
A tired dog is a happy dog. If your Hightown 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.

WHAT SETS US APART
Why More Hightown Dogs Are Swimming Every Week
Dog swimming has gone from niche to essential. Vets now recommend it for everything from weight management and arthritis to post-surgery recovery and puppy development. The results speak for themselves — dogs who swim regularly are fitter, happier, and healthier.
Our pool is just 20 minutes from Hightown, with sessions from £35 and free parking on site. Whether your dog is a natural water-lover or has never seen a pool, our team will make their experience safe, enjoyable, and beneficial.
Mental Stimulation
The sensory experience of swimming — water pressure, temperature, movement — provides intense mental engagement alongside physical exercise.
Zero Joint Impact
Water supports 90% of body weight, making swimming the safest form of exercise for dogs of all ages and conditions.
Crystal-Clear Water
Our water is continuously filtered and treated to the highest standards. No mud, no algae, no hidden hazards.

YOUR QUESTIONS
Questions Hightown Dog Owners Ask
"How do I know which session type is right?"
Owner In Pool if you want to swim with your dog. Group Classes for social, confident dogs. Swim Coach for nervous dogs, rehabilitation, or therapeutic sessions. Weighty Woofers for weight management. We're happy to recommend — just ask.
"What if my dog doesn't like it?"
In our experience, the vast majority of dogs take to our warm pool quickly. We never force dogs into the water — they enter at their own pace via a gentle ramp. The warm temperature makes it inviting rather than intimidating.
"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.
"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 DOG OWNERS SAY
What Merseyside Dog Owners Say About Us
"The 30-minute drive from Southport is absolutely worth it. There's nothing like this facility locally, and the difference in our arthritic GSD's mobility has been remarkable."
John & Pat H.
German Shepherd, 10 years · Southport
"We come from Formby and treat it as a day out — swim for the dog, then a walk at Rufford Old Hall nearby. Perfect combination."
Claire D.
Springer Spaniel, 7 years · Formby
