Annual Dog Swim scheduled for Sept. 6

Registration for this year’s annual dog swim is now open. The dog-only event will take place on Saturday, Sept. 6 at the AV Symington Aquatic Center from 9 to 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.  

Local pups will have the opportunity to have fun in a safe, enclosed area while swimming off-leash with other dogs. All dogs must be six months old, legally licensed, vaccinated, and wearing a visible dog license. All exits will be gated, and a veterinarian will be on-site as a precaution. Bring a doggie dish for water, if needed.

Space is limited and pre-registration is required with a two-dog max, per person. The cost to attend is $5.00 per person. Walk-up registration will not be available. Those attending must be at least 12 years of age with dog handlers being 16 years or older. 

Registration is currently available through WebTrac or by visiting the front desk at Ida Lee Recreation Center. For more information, please visit www.idalee.org or call 703-777-1368.
