What is a Assisted Fitness Swim?
This is a fun and energetic swim session focused on fitness and led by a trained canine aquatic swim coach. The focus of the swim coach is to guide the workout and it’s pace to meet the needs of your specific dog, maintain a safe entry and exit, and provide some light stretching, if needed. The use of toys, swim equipment , as well as weight tracking is included. The appointment is 30 minutes in total and 25 of that is in the water playing games and having fun!
Note: Must have completed an intake assessment before scheduling
What to expect during your session
Who is this for?
These appointments are designed for active healthy dogs who are independent swimmers needing little to no swim assistance, for dogs that have graduated from therapy swims and who’s recovery is far enough along for focused strength work, for dogs who can sustain 25-30 minutes of active swimming, show dogs, agility dogs, working dogs, and sporting dogs and puppies. A great option for owners who have dogs that need supplemental exercise for winter months or during times when the owner cannot meet the dogs exercise needs.
This class isn't the right fit for every dog...
…and thats ok! If your pup is still building confidence in the water, working through an injury or illness, or receiving active rehabilitation treatment, they’ll be better served by a program tailored to those needs. Dogs managing, muscle atrophy, generalized pain, or any other medical condition.
What does my dog get out of this?
Canine hydrotherapy is as fun as it is good for your dog! Warm water boosts circulation, eases tension, and builds strength and endurance without the strain of weight-bearing exercise. Your dog gets to splash, play, and move with full range of motion while the natural therapeutic benefits of aquatic therapy do their thing. The buoyancy builds confidence, the warm water melts stress, and every session is a full-body workout wrapped in a really good time.
