It may sometimes feel like summer has only just got going, but it’s time to announce this season’s Dog Swim (and with it the end of the Lido season).
The Dog Swim is an essential fundraiser for The Lido, and is the one and only, much-anticipated chance for humans to bring their best furry friends for a swim.
The event takes place on Sunday 8 September from 4pm, and tickets will go on sale at 9am on Sunday 18 August; book online or call the office. These tickets will sell out quickly, so please save the date and set your alarm!
Tickets cost £22.50 per dog- all human family and friends come in free.
Remember that at least 1 adult (16+) must swim with each dog. Children may also swim with their dogs but please remember the pool rules: if your child is under 8 or a non-swimmer they must have an adult in the water with them. Our lifeguards are on poolside to look after the safety of humans in the pool; the welfare of each dog is the responsibility of their owner. You are encouraged to wear a T-shirt, rash vest or a wetsuit when swimming with your dog, as furious doggy paddling can cause scratches.
Please note we use chlorine to disinfect our pool. A hose will be available to shower off your dog after swimming. There will be plenty of water bowls around the pool, and plenty of Bonios on offer. The Lido café will be open serving hot and cold food and drink for human refreshment. We will also be running our amazing canine-themed raffle, with some great prizes. All proceeds from the Dog Swim go towards the upkeep of The Lido.
Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you and your best friends!
