- General terms and conditions apply.
- Dogs can enter the water with or without an adult.
- Children are not permitted in the water for safety reasons.
- Owners must take full responsibility for their dogs throughout the event.
- Dogs are prohibited from entering changing areas and toilets. Indoor areas are off-limits except for entry and exit, so we recommend at least two adults attend if the owner wishes to swim.
- Lifeguards will be on duty, but they are responsible for humans, not dogs. Owners must ensure their dog’s safety in the water.
- The main outdoor pool will be closed to the public, with covers off for safety in case a dog enters the water.
Additional Information:
- Health & Safety: All dogs must follow UK laws for registration and paperwork. Chlorine levels will be maintained or reduced to 1ppm due to human entry into the pool.
- Facilities: We will provide dog bowls for drinking and poop bags.
- Responsible Pet Ownership: If a dog bites a member of the public, it is the owner’s responsibility, as it would be in any public setting.
This event is a fantastic way to engage with the community, have some fun, and raise vital funds to support Faversham Pools. Don’t miss out—book your tickets today!
