How your session will work
At Phin and Paddle we want to ensure every dog that comes to our pool has a fun and safe time. This why we do not allow a session to have more than one booking, so that if you choose to have other dogs in the pool with your own, it is ones your dog is happy to play with.
Arrival
We recommend arriving 5 minutes early if it is your first appointment.
When you enter Phin and Paddle, you will first come to the shop. Please head over to the desk and share your booking name/ details. If you haven't already, you will given our terms and conditions to read and sign.
Please ensure your dog is walked in on a lead!
Entering the pool area
The pool is not a bath for your dog to be cleaned, we would really appreciate you using our wash facilities to rinse your dog off if they are dirty.
Please ensure you close the gate behind you once you are in the pool area and take all towels and bags in with you. You will be shown all the facilities and there is a curtain if you wish to change and join your dog in the pool!
Getting in the pool
Remember: the steps are for dogs and ladder for humans!
We recommend walking your dog on their lead up the steps (you can follow on the wooden steps) for safety and to help them enter the water. There are buoyancy jackets which you may choose to put on your dog if they are not confident in water. It is sometimes helpful to join your dog in the pool for their first visit, or alternatively book them in to our private 1:1 swim lessons! We are not in the pool with your dog during standard sessions.
Getting out the pool
A towel or drying coat are always worth bringing with you (or you can purchase these in our store!)
When it's time to get out the pool, we recommend placing your dog on their lead to walk while helping them up and down the steps. You can then rinse them off with the pump shower (if desired) before drying off and heading home. Please keep your dog on the drying platform until they are toweled dry. Ensure you bring a towel or drying coat for them (we sell Ruff and Tumble coats in store!). Don't forget to get a post swim snack to take home from the shop if your dogs feeling peckish!
