Introduction to Swim
Introduction to Swim
- Your dog has never swam before? First time swimmers young and old can benefit from this shorter introductory swim session. We use a slow and steady approach to get your dog comfortable in the water and positive reinforcement through provided toys and treats, breaks when needed and a focus on confidence training. Introduction to Swim is an ideal option for a relaxed and safe first swim or for a dog who is nervous or expresses fear around water. Our Aquatic Specialists use their expertise to make a potentially traumatic and overstimulating experience, a fun and enjoyable one!
- Please note that the first time in the pool can be a hard one for your dog! Pet owners may be asked to watch from the windows outside of the pool room located in our lobby to minimize stress and allow the bond between your dog and the practitioner to develop.
Fitness Swim
Fitness Swims are a great form of zero-impact exercise, focused on endurance and stamina training. The buoyancy of water relieves any weight or strain on a dog’s joint, relaxing the body and improving mobility. This is a great option for pet owner’s looking for their dog to gain muscle or a dog recovering from surgery or an accident in need of rehabilitation. There are many reasons to consider Fitness Swims are ideal for younger dogs, dogs with excess energy, old injuries (not in a current healing state) and does who need a therapeutic swim.
Our 30-minute Fitness Swim includes a one-on-one supervised swim session with our Aquatics Specialist. Multiple guests require separate appointments.
Fun Swim
Fun Swims are exactly what they sound like – fun! Your dog can experience the joy, rejuvenation and exercise benefits of swimming. This option is best suited for dogs who simply enjoy being in the water. Our sessions are approximately 20 minutes or 30 minutes long and include splashing in the water, directed play with our Fitness Practitioner and may include treats & toys. Sessions are by appointment only and can be scheduled individually or combined with boarding, daycare, grooming or other amenities. Dogs in the same family can swim in a group for even more fun!
