Take your pup to these open swim days for dogs at metro Atlanta pools

by admin September 6, 2022

Several metro Atlanta area cities host open swim days for dogs, just before closing municipal pools for the season.

Each event has pretty specific rules, for health reasons. And they all have a small fee attached.

See the details below, to be sure you’re prepared to follow the guidelines for each specific event. We suggest always bringing proof of vaccination.
This list has been updated for 2022.

Only two humans per dog are allowed, so you can’t bring the whole family.
