The Dog Swim is always a fun time and this year it benefits the Athens County Humane Society fund for neglected and abused animals. Bring your dogs of any size to romp and play and swim. Sun, Fun and Dogs - you can't have a better day than that! Please read all guidelines below.
$10 per dog (CASH please) to enter; larger donations are welcome : ) Photographers not representing a news source will be asked to make a donation to enter this year.
There is a zero point entry, a section for small dogs only and splash pad fun - bring your cameras!
PLEASE brush your dog prior to coming to the event. Dogs should also be rinsed before leaving the event, as some chlorine will be in the water, although at low levels which are considered safe.
The City of Athens requires that dogs be current with vaccinations.
Tennis balls will be supplied. If you bring a toy, it is at your own risk.
Humans are NOT allowed in the water, including the zero entry area due to concerns set forth by the Department of Health.
Please do not force dogs into the water. If they are scared, just let them run around and have fun. Forcing tentative dogs into the pool will not be allowed.
Children must be supervised closely and are not allowed on diving boards, slides or in the water at any time.
Please leave aggressive dogs at home for everyone's safety.
Dogs in heat are not permitted at the event.
