THE PROBLEM
Why Walks Alone Aren't Enough for Stretton Dogs
Stiff Joints & Slowing Down
Older dogs in Stretton often slow down because walks hurt their joints. Swimming gives them exercise without the pain.
Nervous Around Water
Many dogs in Cheshire have never been introduced to water properly. Our gentle approach builds lifelong water confidence.
Limited Off-Lead Space
Not every Stretton 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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything You Need to Know
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.
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.
Do you do gift vouchers for dog owners in Stretton?
Yes. Vouchers are a popular present for Stretton dog owners — birthdays, Christmas, or a new puppy in the family. Call 07359 881320 to arrange one.
Can I bring two dogs from the same household?
Yes — up to four dogs from the same household in an Owner In Pool session. Multi-dog Stretton families often find this the most cost-effective way to swim regularly.
What are the health benefits of dog swimming?
Swimming provides cardiovascular fitness, muscle building, weight management, joint rehabilitation, mental stimulation, and improved range of motion — all with zero impact on joints. It's the most complete exercise available for dogs.
How wet will my car be on the way back to Stretton?
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.
Do you have experience with large breeds?
We regularly swim Great Danes, Newfoundlands, Irish Wolfhounds, and other giant breeds. Our pool is designed to accommodate dogs of all sizes with plenty of room to move.
