Please only allow your dog to swim if you are confident they will be safe in the water. Lifeguards will not be expected to perform rescues for dogs.

If you, and/or your dog are weak or inexperienced swimmers restrict your use to the shallow area of the pools only, where you can safely touch the pool bottom with your feet.

If your dog is a banned breed, shows signs of aggression towards other dogs, or is in season, this event is not suitable for your pet as there will be lots of other dogs at the event. Admittance may be refused or you may be asked to remove your dog from the venue.

Dog buoyancy aids are permitted in the pool. For your safety our pool water is chlorinated – discourage your dogs from drinking this water as it can cause discomfort. If you think your dog has drunk pool water, please seek assistance from a vet.

Dog leads are not allowed in the pool, this is because they may cause a hazard to other dogs and swimmers.
We will provide hoses and fresh drinking water for you to shower your dogs and keep them hydrated.

Please keep a close eye on your dogs and remain close to them. Dogs remain the owners sole responsibility at all times.

Please clean up after your dogs. Dog bins will be provided around the venue.
