Our puppy had a great time at woofs and waves for his first swim. He was hesitant at first but after a few minutes and some toy persuasion he was jumping in and out having a great time. Perfect entertainment for them whilst we have hot weather, he slept all the way home and for the rest of the day.

Great experience taking our doggo here for a much needed cool off and bit of fun. The pool is situated next to a farm and the setting is lovely and peaceful, that is until our dog started jumping in the pool chasing his ball. A great set up, a big heated pool and a nice big launching area for the dogs to enter the water, with a ramp to help the timid doggos enter and exit. The whole area is also fenced off for safety. The girls were great, encouraging our dog to have fun and threw his ball for him. Thwy we're really friendly and professional. It was great value for money and booking was simple through their website allowing us to pick a private half hour slot. 30mins is plenty of time for your dog to have a great time and get really tired out. Fully recommend this as a lovely treat for your fur babies to let off some steam and enjoy swim.

Important Pool Rules

We want every dog and owner to enjoy their visit safely. By confirming your booking, you agree to these terms and conditions.

Please take note of the following rules:

  • Owners are responsible for their dogs at all times.
  • Please toilet your dog before entering the pool area and clean up after them. If a dog toilets in the pool, a cleaning fee may apply if the pool must be closed for maintenance.
  • No rough handling — dogs must never be pushed, pulled, or thrown into the water.
  • Dogs must be up to date with vaccinations or titre tested.
  • Dogs’ claws must be clipped short to prevent damage to the pool liner. Entry may be refused if claws are sharp.
  • A 1-minute swim = 4-minute run. Dogs won’t be encouraged to swim for longer than 20 minutes per session.
  • Avoid feeding your dog for 2–3 hours before and after swimming.
  • Woofs & Waves is not a hydrotherapy provider; we offer fun and fitness swims only. If your dog has health concerns, injuries, or is recovering from surgery, you must seek vet approval before attending.
  • Please tell us if your dog is reactive, unsociable, has a history of biting, or is on the Dangerous Dogs list. We can still accommodate you safely with a Solo Session.
  • If a dog shows aggression or causes injury to staff, customers, or other dogs, you may be asked to leave and refrain from rebooking until the behaviour has been addressed.
  • Entering the pool is at your own risk.
  • Children aged 12 or over may enter the pool only if they can swim and stand with their head above water. Parents are responsible for their children at all times.
  • Please behave sensibly around the pool — no jumping in or unsafe play.
  • Abuse towards staff or other visitors (verbal or physical) will not be tolerated and will result in a permanent ban without refund.
  • The pool ladder supports a maximum of 16 stone as per manufacturer guidelines.
  • Each 30-minute session includes entry and exit time — please vacate the pool and enclosure promptly at the end of your session.
  • We love sharing photos and videos of happy swimmers on social media! Please let us know before your session if you’d prefer not to be included in posts. We cannot control what other visitors share independently.

  • All sessions are fully supervised and a member of staff will be in the pool at all times.

Payments, Rescheduling & Cancellations

  • Payment: Full payment is required at the time of booking.
  • Rescheduling: You can reschedule your appointment up to 48 hours before your booked time. Unfortunately, sessions cannot be rescheduled within 48 hours, and no refund will be given for late changes or missed sessions.

  • Cancellations: made 48 hours or more before your appointment receive a full refund. No refunds are available for cancellations made less than 48 hours before your session.

  • If Woofs & Waves must cancel for any reason, you’ll be offered a full refund or an alternative time slot.
  • As our pool is outdoors, we continue to operate in the rain. Normal cancellation terms apply for weather-related changes unless we deem conditions unsafe, in which case you’ll be offered a refund or new appointment.
