PRO RULES 

• All dogs must have staff approval to swim PRO. All new dogs must start out with an initial swim evaluation. Some dogs may require additional assisted swims after their initial evaluation swim. As all dogs are different, there is no set rule on how many assisted swims a dog may need, nor are we able to predict this without first evaluating the dog in our pool. A PRO swimmer means that our staff feels confident that you and your dog can rent pool time without staff assistance for an owner-supervised swim session with your dog. Your dog must be able to get in and out of the pool safely, come out of the pool when called, and find the ramp without assistance. Once our staff feels that you and your dog are ready for this step, we will graduate your dog to PRO, and you will be able to rent owner-supervised pool time without staff assistance.
