Page 4 | To think having dogs in Saltdean lido is utterly disgusting?

What a disgusting idea.
A solid no from me

Kedibone27 · 07/08/2024 22:25

Absolutely Disgusting! I love dogs but this makes me want to throw up. Someone somewhere has lost the plot! 🤢🤮

FeetLikeFlippers · 07/08/2024 22:20

What, in the actual water??? That’s gross. 🤢

There is no way a pool would be drained and scrubbed monthly !

🤦‍♀️

It looks like they are not running normal sessions...only dog ones.

I assume then it's a little way of keeping it popular, in possibly an otherwise quiet month.

As its only dogs, I presume it coincides with a drain and/or big scrub at the end of the month.

I'm not thrilled with the idea of swimming in a pool alongside multiple dogs, or getting into one after hundreds across a weekend has got in. But if it's been completely cleaned ready for when they reopen for humans, it can't be any dirtier that whatever anyone else has got in.

Sounds awesome! 😎

Love the idea although I know for sure my dog hates water & even avoids puddles so won't be going sadly 😂

It's is actually disgusting that is! I've just read it, who in there right mind would want to swim in water with loads of other dogs. The hygiene implications of this is unthinkable! Utterly disgusting, I for one will never go near something like this and I'm sure a lot of others feel the same. I am a dog lover but I draw the line at swimming with them and there dirty backsides!

We'd all go. My dog would love it. And I get in the sea. Hardly worse than that

@Joloman74

You'd need to buy a ticket. And without a dog you couldn't anyway. Luckily they haven't made it compulsory.

Hunglikeapolevaulter · 07/08/2024 20:07

Do they clean the pool after? If they do, I don’t mind. I’m a cat person, but thought it was quite cute to see the doggies throwing themselves in.

Yes. They have some dog swim sessions after the pool is shut for the season, as a way to raise some additional much-needed funds. Everything is then drained and cleaned for the winter.

The facts are being roundly ignored by many on the thread who would rather have a good froth.

Good thing no one is forcing you to, and you wouldn't even be allowed in without a dog. The pool is shut for the general public! You can breathe easy.

P.S. You obviously haven't read the thread.

Is it already end of swimming/ summer season ?! That’s so depressing!
I get it… Not inconsiderate then, still not a fan, but I’m sure great fun day out for those taking part! 🐶 🎈 🥳

Havinganamechange · 07/08/2024 19:32

Urghhhh vile 🤮

Jumpers4goalposts · 07/08/2024 19:30

It’s a special session and advertised as such. Get over it.

They let dogs into the lido with people on weekends 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

.. also .. swallowing some water during swimming in almost inevitable, even when we don’t realise it.

It's a good thing then that dog owners (the only humans allowed in the pool during those sessions) have a choice whether to go in (and how deep) or not.

sunglassesonthetable · 07/08/2024 18:37

@Brightonseafront

No it's not inconsiderate, it's a special event run for dogs and owners, ticket only, before the pool is drained and cleaned.

Brightonseafront · 07/08/2024 18:29

I absolutely love dogs and animals
in general, but to me that’s just disgusting& unhygienic thing to do in a public pool, off putting and inconsiderate 🤮🤢

sunglassesonthetable · 07/08/2024 18:27

Well I suppose a dirty dog is dirty dog. Just like a dirty person is a dirty person.

Do you think people will be taking their dogs straight from a walk and using the pool as a wash down? I suppose you run the risk of people doing that too for themselves.

Did you see it's just a special event before the pool is cleaned @Royaly82 ? Not routine.

Royaly82 · 07/08/2024 18:21

I've seen the colour of the water after I've bathed my dogs, and many times had to rinse off their backsides after they toileted
One of ours LOVES rolling in fox and horse shit and the hairs that come off them is nuts.
This is disgusting 😳

it would be dog tapeworms that would be the issue for me. Does everyone worm their dog religiously?

Tape worm eggs come out with faeces, and they need to be ingested.
Dogs don't shit as they swim, and the owners are not going to be swallowing water.
Total non-issue.
