Dive in to the fun at Big Dog Day Swim!
Treat your pooch to a late summertime dip at one of the City of Alexandria’s Annual Dog Swims. Dogs of all sizes are welcome. New this year is FestDOGVal, a dog expo featuring veterinarians, groomers, specialty food and toys, obedience and CPR classes and more. Plus, prizes will be awarded for best doggie outfit.

Following the end of the summer pool season, these annual events provide dogs with the opportunity to swim and play games in one of the City’s pools. This year, due to the generous donation by Your Dogs Best Friend, admission is free! Register your dog online.

Dog handlers must be 16 years of age or older, and cannot swim or enter the pool with their dogs. Dogs must be sociable and remain leashed while on the pool deck. All dogs should wear current vaccination tags or must have a current rabies certificate or letter from their veterinary stating that they have received the shots in order to gain entry to the event. Space is limited to 100 dogs in the pool area at one time.
