Calling all dogs to celebrate the end of summer at the 12th Annual Dog Splash Days in Templeton.
This years swim schedule is Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm. Special swim sessions for small dogs (under 30 pounds), senior, or disable dogs are scheduled for Saturday at 10 am and SUnday at 3 pm. Small and senior dogs are also welcome at all other swim sessions.
Both the tot pool and the shallow end of the adult pool are open for dog swimming. Swim sessions are scheduled on the hour and limited to 20 dogs at a time to ensure a quality and safe play time for all dogs. Dog life vests and lots of floating retrieval toys are provided.
Dogs only are allowed in the pool for the event. Local dog trainers and therapists wearing wetsuits volunteer their time as dog lifeguards to assist dogs in entering and exiting the water. Dog life vests are available for dogs that are new to swimming. Pool toys such as rubber ducks, rubber bananas, and Frisbees are also available.

Dogs must be 5 months or older and adult male dogs must be neutered. Paper proof of current rabies vaccination must be presented at the registration table prior to admission to the pool area. Any dog displaying aggressive behavior will be required to leave the pool area immediately with a full refund.
