Thank you Stephanie and Sam for all the amazing memories and experiences my dog Jessa has had at your daycare. She took a lesson with you yesterday and today she was swimming on her own for the first time in the ocean! All this time she was just watching the other dogs swim and she couldn’t join them. Today is a big day for us and we are celebrating it. She loves coming to your daycare. You are always so caring and make it fun for them. She loves coming there. Thank you again. Your daycare is a paradise for every dog. ❤️

Our dog had a lovely time swimming here. The facility is clean and well managed, and we felt the amount of time we had was perfect. We appreciated the advice from the Owner on how to make our dog comfortable in the water, as well as letting us use the lifejacket when she was getting used to being in the pool.

My dog started vomiting badly after coming home from swimming, and unfortunately she was still unwell even after 2 days. Since this involves animals’ health and safety, I think water quality and pH levels need to be monitored much more carefully and consistently. She did not experience this after her first session, which makes me concerned that the conditions may not be properly maintained every time. As pet owners, we trust facilities with our dogs’ wellbeing, so experiences like this are very upsetting and should be taken seriously. That being said, the trainer herself was amazing. She was patient, kind, and really helped my dog gain confidence around swimming. I truly appreciated her support throughout the session.

Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to teach their dog how to swim and build confidence in the water. We booked a 1-on-1 session for our dog, Daisy, and our trainer, Heidy, was amazing. She made Daisy feel comfortable within minutes and took the time to ensure she felt safe in the water. By the end of the session, Daisy was not only confident but actually enjoying swimming..something we didn’t expect so quickly! Huge credit to Heidy for her patience and approach. We’ll definitely be coming back

I have taken my 6 month old dog twice and she has had a great experience with Hedy! She is learning to get comfortable swimming and Hedy has been very patient and good with her. Would highly recommend!

I took our six month old doodle for a one-on-one swimming lesson with the owner Ed. He is fantastic with dogs! He guided her step by step to swimming and made her feel safe with cuddles in between dog paddles. He was very in tune with what our pup needed in every moment. We will definitely return for more lessons over the next few months. Highly recommended!

Finally have been able to take my dog here! I booked a 1 on 1 private lesson (45 minutes) which was $73.50 and it was totally worth it! The instructor was so kind and patient with my dog as he’s never been in deep waters before. They have life vests for your dog and offer a towel at the end to dry your pup off! After my dog got used to the water we eventually took the vest off and he was a natural. I wish I had gotten the instructors name because she was super attentive with my dog and made him feel safe. The facility is nice and big and it was nice being able to stand and interact with your dog. Will definitely be coming back as it was a great experience for my dog 🙂

Everything you need before your first visit

Quick answers to the questions we hear most often from new dog families.

My dog isn’t fixed. Can they come swimming?

Yes, they can join our swim sessions. We only require dogs to be fixed for daycare, not for swimming. We accept unfixed dogs up to 10 months old.

I have two dogs. Can I book one 1-on-1 session for both?

1-on-1 is designed for one dog at a time so we can fully focus on their safety, confidence, and technique. You’re welcome to book separate sessions for each pup. More details: 1-on-1.

What if my dog is nervous or has never been swimming before?

That’s completely okay. Many dogs are first-time swimmers. We introduce every dog at their own pace using positive reinforcement and gentle encouragement.

What should I bring to the session?

Bring your dog’s favourite treats, favourite toys, and a positive attitude. For Recreational Swim, be ready to get wet — lots of splashes! More details: Recreational Swim.

Can I watch my dog during the 1-on-1 session?

Yes, you can stay and watch, or leave and pick up your dog after — it’s your choice. For nervous dogs, it’s usually better if parents wait outside because they focus more, build confidence faster, and feel less pressure while learning.

Is there parking?

Yes, there is parking in the back. The entrance for swim sessions is at the front of the building. Park in the back, walk to the front entrance, and once you’re outside, please call us or send us a message.
