Dog Days of Summer

Each year, after the regular swimming season has ended, College Hill Pool invites all dogs to try wading, paddling, swimming, or diving during the annual Dogs Days of Summer. This event allows dogs to experience the joy of swimming in a pool without chlorine.

The 2012 event will be held on Monday August 13th from 5:00 pm- 7:30 pm. Admission is a minimum donation of $10 per dog (limit of two dogs per owner). A large portion of the proceeds benefits the Kansas Humane Society.

Owners can wade only knee-deep with their dogs in the shallow end of the zero-depth entry family swimming pool or let the dogs jump by themselves into the deep end. Dogs at the Dogs Days of Summer will receive dog treats. Dogs can also compete in the long jump contest, frisbee catch or largest and smallest dog contests.

All dogs must be leashed when not in the pool or participating in contests and current on all vaccinations including rabies.
