Indoor Saltwater Pools
A smarter way to exercise
Choose your starting point
Start with the swim that fits your dog.
Breed, size, temperament, behavior, and swim style all matter in the pool. Doggy Paddle offers more than one way to swim.
Group Swim
A guided swim session with up to 3 dogs, thoughtfully matched by fit, temperament, energy, and swim style.
Best for: Dogs who can comfortably share the room and enjoy a fun, active swim environment.
Group Swim: $48
Private Swim
A private pool-room session offering more space, more focus, and individualized support from our team.
Best for: Dogs who need extra handling, feel nervous, or need separation from other dogs.
Private Swim: $96
Splash 'n Play Daycare
A membership-based program with 1 hour of swimming plus 2 hours of indoor play. Doggy Paddle handles the swim, drying, outdoor potty breaks, ear cleaning, and photo updates.
Best for: Busy dog parents, high-energy or athletic dogs, and families who need transportation.
Memberships start at $240/month.
Movement changes quietly.
Shorter walks. Slower stairs. Less interest in play. These changes are easy to miss — and harder to address once they become obvious.
Swimming gives dogs a body-friendly way to stay active, build confidence, and keep moving before exercise starts feeling limited, stressful, or overdue.
Start now. Help them stay active longer.
Low-impact movement
Water supports the body while giving dogs real exercise.
Confidence in the water
Guided swims help dogs settle in, learn the rhythm, and feel more comfortable.
A stronger routine
Consistent swimming supports strength, conditioning, and a better quality of life.
Controlled environment. Clean facility. Built for dogs.
New swimmers need patience
Some dogs jump right in. Others need time, encouragement, and a team that knows how to build confidence in the water.
Experienced swimmers appreciate structure
Confident swimmers benefit from smart pacing, clear handling, and the right swim environment to get real exercise.
Dogs respond to our team
Our team gets in the water, guides the swim, and learns how each dog likes to move, play, and stay engaged.
Safety leads everything
Clean water, thoughtful scheduling, hands-on supervision, and clear swim-fit requirements help create a safe, controlled experience.
Good to know
Do I stay with my dog?
For Group Swim and Private Swim, yes. Dog parents stay in the pool room and are part of the experience — cheering, encouraging, and often tossing toys while our team leads the session. Splash 'n Play is different: it's our daycare-style swim + play program, so parents do not stay.
Is Splash 'n Play membership-only?
Yes. Splash 'n Play is membership-based and starts with a once-per-week routine. Each visit includes one hour of swimming and two hours of indoor play, so dogs go home happy, tired, and dry.
Do you offer transportation?
Yes. Transportation is available as an add-on for Splash 'n Play in select service areas. If you're interested, select Splash 'n Play during registration and choose the transportation option.
How do you decide if Group Swim is a good fit?
We look at your dog's temperament, swim style, and comfort level around other dogs. Dogs do not need to play together — they just need to safely share the pool room. If Private is a better fit, we'll let you know.
What does my dog need before swimming?
Current Rabies, Bordetella, Distemper, a negative fecal exam, and your dog must be medically fit for active swimming.
What if my dog is new to swimming?
That's common. New swimmers start with a life jacket, and our team follows a proven structure to help dogs feel calm in the water, safely exit the pool, and discover that swimming can be fun.
