Swim 4 Paws

Absolutely amazing facility. The owners are some of the most knowledgeable dog lovers I have met. From the very first time we visited with our dog, we have had nothing but professional attitude from them both. Our dog loves his 'swim swims' and we all look forward to our pool time. We've been coming for more than a year now and never had a complaint. If it hadn't been for Swim4Paws, our dog may not have recovered after his knee surgery. Thank you so much, Angela and Nigel, for doing what you do and for the dedication that you put in. Polar Bear loves your pool and so do we, his humans.

We take our two German Shepherds swimming in a pool where we live down south. We wanted to find somewhere to take them while visiting my parents, which is how we stumbled upon this place. I'm so glad they don't advertise more widely, as the waitlist would be long! And it's no wonder why they're already so booked—this place is amazing. We started out with the dogs in the field to let them use the loo, and I think they would have been ecstatic with just that experience alone. They had a brilliant time running around and sniffing all the smells. Next, we went to our assigned horsebox to get changed. This system is great because it means that if you have a reactive dog, they never have to see another one. Then it was on to the pool, the biggest we've ever seen for dogs! We love that they don't use chemicals in the pool. The owners are extremely professional and thorough. We will definitely be booking again the next time we visit.

WE LOVE THIS PLACE! I'd like to start off by saying Nigel and his wife Angela are amazing and are the perfect hosts. Friendly, chatty, warm and kind. Very lovely people who appreciate their customers (and we appreciate them!) The whole experience is a pleasure from start to finish, it's a relaxed atmosphere with no rushing about. You arrive before you're start time and can have a walk around the paddock with your dog/s to let them stretch their legs and go to the toilet. You then go into the barn and you're assigned a stable with your dog/s names on the front where you can get changed, get your dog/s ready and leave your things in there whilst you're in the pool. The pool is so well thought with the puppy/beginner area that goes into a deeper part gradually. It's a weird sensation because when you get in it feels cold, but once you're in it's not cold at all! We took our 9 month old girl, and our 18 month old girl. Our 9 month old hadn't been swimming before, and our 18 month old had been swimming before (at a different place). Our 9 month old was obviously not confident on her first visit but by the end of it she was running into the water. Our 18 month old had a paddle but that's as much as she did. On our 2nd visit, both of them were straight in and super confident! Nigel's approach and with the design of the pool of letting the dogs go in at their own pace really pays off! I am over the moon at how much fun they were having and it was a joy to watch! Great exercise and great for their mental health too! I'm not sure who enjoys it more, the girls or the owners 😂 I decided to have a swim myself and the thrill of the cold water was amazing and I felt so good afterwards! (like I said above it is warm once you're body is used to it, it's crazy!) See you soon guys, we can't wait until next time! We'd be there every day if we could haha! Xxx
