Swim your dog... 


Swimming is one of the best activities for dogs of all ages—whether they’re full of puppy energy or enjoying their senior years. As a non-weight-bearing exercise, it allows your dog to move freely without the impact and strain of hard surfaces, making it both safe and highly beneficial.

At Aquapaws, every dog is welcome—and most absolutely love their time in the water.

Our pool is heated to a comfortable 22°C year-round and maintained to the highest hygiene standards with advanced filtration and computer-controlled sanitisation. We also test and treat the water daily to ensure a clean and safe environment for every swim.

For ease and safety, the pool features non-slip ramps for gentle entry and exit. We provide buoyancy vests and harnesses at no extra cost to support dogs of all abilities and confidence levels.

A convenient rinse-off area is available for use before and after swimming.

To help us maintain water quality, all dogs must arrive clean prior to entering the pool.

Weekday bookings include the option of private swims at no additional cost—ideal for reactive dogs or those who prefer a quieter, one-on-one experience.

All post surgery rehabilitation dogs require an initial assessment. Swimming in a pool isn't suited to every dog post surgery.

A 6' lead is recommended for pool use. These are also available to purchase from our Centre for $10.00.

All dogs must be current with their vaccinations

All new clients must undertake an initial orientation swim to ensure your dog can swim safely on its own.

Aquapaws is the first Canine swimming pool in Australia to use the MagnaPool system

winner of numerous prizes on an international level for its qualities and innovation.

MagnaPool's magnesium enriched mineral water helps muscles relax. Magnesium aids in reducing inflammation in the muscles and relieves pain. It can assist in reducing stress and promoting muscle energy which is the perfect complement for show and racing dogs that frequent the pool. The magnesium mineral based water is also very gentle on eyes and sensitive skin.

Compared to traditional salt water pools or ones with a high concentration of chlorine, it offers a much healthier alternative. Magnesium is easily absorbed through the skin. This is known as transdermal magnesium therapy and has proven to be highly effective.

PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT

As swim times run strictly every 30 minutes, if you are late for your appointment you may not be able to make up your lost time if the next appointment is full. The pool can be very busy and your lateness will inconvenient other pool users. Thank you for your co operation in this matter.

During the week, you can usually have the pool to yourself with no other dog at no extra charge. Saturdays however, we do have multiple dogs in the pool. Maximum of 4 dogs at one time in the pool unless of course, you have a play date with all of your doggy friends!
