Rehab & Wellness Swimming
Therapeutic swimming and recovery for strength, mobility, and total-body wellness
Is Swimming Right for
Your Dog?
Does your dog struggle with mobility, recovery, or weight? Does your pup love the water but needs a little guidance to feel confident in the pool?
Our Canine Swim Program is designed for dogs who may be:
- Recovering from surgery or injury
- Struggling with arthritis, hip dysplasia, or degenerative joint disease
- Overweight or experiencing muscle loss
- Senior dogs (7+ years) who need gentle movement
- Canine athletes requiring conditioning and stamina work
- Experiencing anxiety or low confidence
Every dog is different, and every session is customized. Our trained swim staff works one-on-one with your dog to create a positive, productive experience in the water.
Swim Program Overview
$59 per session
$216 for 4-session package
Guided & Safe
Each swim session is guided by a trained member of our staff and typically lasts between 25–45 minutes, depending on your dog’s stamina and treatment plan.
Activities Include
- Resisted swimming for muscle strength
