A Few Important Pup Rules

To keep the fun safe for everyone, all participating dogs must be at least 6 months old and have proof of a current dog license and rabies vaccination. Dogs must enter and exit on leash, and owners must remain present and in control of their pets.

This is a DOGS-ONLY swimming event—sorry, humans, you'll have to stay poolside!

Advance registration is encouraged, and the Doggie Pie Eating Contest requires separate pre-registration.

Bring your pup, grab your camera, and get ready for a splashing good time!
