Frequently Asked Questions About SwimDogs
No, SwimDogs is quite different. It's a private dog swimming pool, a 32-foot above-ground pool with a ramp and platform, set in a grassy paddock in rural Gloucestershire. You hire the pool in 30-minute slots, and it's ideal for dogs who love water or owners looking for a fresh exercise option. Sessions cost from around £30 per session, confirm current rates when booking. It's open Thursday to Sunday (plus Bank Holiday Mondays) from May through September.
Yes, absolutely. Owners we hear from with dog-sensitive or nervous pets really value the private booking system and quiet rural location. There's a good gap between sessions, so you won't encounter other dogs or people during your slot. One owner with a dog-sensitive pet specifically praises the setup, saying they don't have to worry about disturbances. The small gated play area before the pool also helps manage arrivals calmly.
SwimDogs has more than you'd expect. There's parking for up to six cars, changing rooms, toilet facilities, and a small gated play area for toileting dogs before they swim. The pool comes with doggy life jackets and floaty toys, and owners tell us ice creams are even available to buy for both humans and pups. The ramp makes it easy for dogs (and humans, if you fancy joining in) to get in and out safely.
You can bring up to four dogs per 30-minute session, making it a popular choice for friends who want to swim their dogs together. SwimDogs caters for well-socialised dogs, so it works brilliantly for group bookings or multi-dog households. Sessions are bookable online, and owners we hear from find communication straightforward and the booking process easy.
Many owners think so. We hear from dog owners who've travelled from South Wales specifically for the experience and plan to return. The unique offering, a private pool with all the facilities and a tranquil rural setting near Gloucester, makes it a destination rather than just a local amenity. If your dog loves water or you're after something different, it's well worth the trip.
