Swimming isn't just for rehabilitation. It can also be a brilliant way to support fitness, confidence and enjoyment, while giving dogs a different type of exercise from their usual walks and activities.

-Can be used to target subtle muscle asymmetries and proactive management of musculoskeletal health
-Increase cardiovascular fitness
-Improve coordination, body awareness and flexibility
-Mental stimulation and enjoyment
-Build confidence around the water
-A unique form of exercise that's difficult to replicate on land, combining continuous water resistance with a greater range of movement.
Fitness Swims
Ideal for active dogs and canine athletes, including agility, flyball, gundogs, and other sporting dogs. Fitness swims provide a challenging, low-impact exercise to support strength and cardiovascular fitness. It is the perfect addition to your conditioning programme and usual training.
Fun Swims
For dogs who simply enjoy swimming, or need a little help building confidence in the water. Whether they need a calm introduction to the water, or a higher intensity workout, fun swims are completely tailored to your dog's needs and activity level.
Puppy Swims
Starting swimming young can help puppies become confident, capable swimmers from an early age. Sessions are kept positive and fun with a strong focus on their mental wellbeing. It also gives them a valuable new experience as part of their wider socialisation and development, helping them become more confident, resilient and adaptable as they grow.
