My home is in Cheltenham and one of the great facilities in the town is a lido. At the end of summer, and before draining the water, it’s given over to dogs for a swim:

The swim club in our neighborhood does this at the end of the summer each year.
Admission per dog is just a few dollars and the money goes to a pet charity.
I can’t take my water loving dog as he doesn’t share toys well and they have a bunch of floaty dog toys they toss in the pool.
The photos always look like everyone has a great time.

I always love seeing the photos from this event at our local Lido @Smiley. Makes me wish I had a dog to take along!

Do you know the date for this this year? I’ve never attended and would so much like to watch the fun! And join them! Ha ha!

I’ve just googled it and this year it’s 11 & 12 October. It’s always at the end of the season when they shut the lido for the winter
