Unsinkable Dogs
Welcome!
We are a warm-water swim center built exclusively for use by dogs. All kinds of dogs swim here for all kinds of reasons. The benefits of swimming in warm, clean water and with a specially trained swim coach are numerous.

Because of the buoyancy of water, the forces of gravity are greatly reduced. The result is considerably less stress on joints. Swimming uses all the key weight-bearing muscles of the body. This means that dogs can build strength and flexibility whether they have normal strength on land, or suffer from weakness due to a medical condition, or as a result of aging. The warmth of the water along with the hydrostatic pressure is soothing to sore or arthritic joints. And even more than for humans, the aerobic and core strength building benefits – are unbeatable.
