about us

what we do


Opening in spring 2020, Swimdogs offers dog owners a unique and enjoyable way to exercise their beloved pets in a 32 foot above-ground swimming pool.

We’re a small, family-run business with the goal of providing a simple, effective, and fun experience for all dogs, regardless of their size or swimming ability.

why choose us?


Swimdogs is set in the grounds of Pound Cottage, a tranquil grassy paddock in rural Gloucestershire.

Our pool features a custom-built ramp and wooden platform, allowing you and your dog to enter the water at your own pace.

The clean, controlled pool environment means there's no need to worry about the hazards they might encounter, like in lakes or rivers.

There’s space for up to six cars and changing facilities.

Sessions last for 30 minutes and can accommodate up to four dogs for a fun and social experience.

it’s more than just fun!


Swimming is such an incredible workout for dogs, with many experts saying just 5 minutes of swimming is equal to a mile walk!

It's also a low-impact activity that’s gentle on their joints.

We’ve found it’s a great way to build their confidence in order to try other activities too.
