West Hartford Dog Park Coalition- Dog Swim at Kennedy Pool
Libby here.
As you can see, I like to exercise by chipping sticks. Some of my four legged colleagues prefer swimming. I don’t know why. I think it makes them smelly.
Anyway, the fine people of the West Hartford Dog Park Coalition have pulled together an end-of-the-season dog swim at Kennedy Pool in West Hartford. That’s right. A dog swim. At a local pool. How refreshing!
The event will be held Monday, August 18th from 5:00pm-7:30pm at the Kennedy Pool in West Hartford. The cost is $5 per dog. Dogs from all towns are welcome, but your dog MUST BE LICENSED WITH YOUR TOWN.
Licensed! That little blue tag I am wearing! Go to your town hall and get one for your pooch. It will cost only a few bucks!
You can register for the event here.
I will not be at the swim because water in my ears is no fun. Amy will be there to document and will provide lots of splashy pictures after the event.
Libby out.
Libby,
I am a young German Sheppard puppy, is clorine safe for me to swim in? Should I avoid drinking and or getting clorine in my eyes? Will I be able to utilize the baby pool to keep my head above water?
Seeking advice from an older dog.

Max,
I, too, wonder about the safety of chlorine, our skin, and ingesting. Some doggies could have an allergic reaction. You might want to check with your vet and see what they say.
There is a kiddie pool which the smaller dogs can use. I would still advise using your swimmies though, you are quite small! I heard you’re not even on dog food yet!
Looking forward to play session when you’re big enough.
