Alexandria’s Annual Swim Days Set for Dogs Large and Small
Following the end of the summer pool season, these annual events provide dogs with the opportunity to swim and play games in the City’s outdoor pools before the pools are drained and cleaned for the winter. Due to the generous support of Your Dog’s Best Friends, admission is free.
Tickets may be reserved online for your preferred time frame at the swim that best suits your dog. Dog handlers must be at least 16 years old and cannot enter the pool with their dogs. Dogs must be sociable and remain leashed while on the pool deck. In order to gain entry, each dog must either wear a current vaccination tag or have a current rabies certificate or veterinarian letter. Space is limited to 100 dogs in the pool area at one time.
