To think having dogs in Saltdean lido is utterly disgusting?

[llamajohn]

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! 🐶 🎈 🥳

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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

Sounds awesome! 😎

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

🤦‍♀️

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

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

What a disgusting idea.
A solid no from me

It's not Dragons Den.

You are so angry, and yet you are conveniently missing the part where the pool is thoroughly drained and cleaned after the event. THEIR dirty backsides are probably cleaner than some of the humans who swim there.

But carry on, I love the pearl clutching.

Omg are you all stupid! It's ar the end of the season when it's no longer open for general swimming, and is then drained and cleaned.
For the fucking millionth time.

I have read the thread thankyou for your input. 😁

Ewwww…
No thanks.

I think that's wrong tbh, my dog is malting like mad and think of all the other dogs that malt, I can't imagine that chlorine is very good for dogs either ( or is it salt water) I was thinking about our local lido whether people took dogs but thought it would be a ridiculous idea lol . I know people do let dogs in swimming pools but their own private ones. Swimming is great for dogs I am lucky to have a few safe areas of river to take mine

@Rottweilermummy but in this case the moulting isn't a problem because as its already been said upthread, the pool will be drained.
As for chlorine, modern pools are far less harsh than they used to be so I really don't think that is a problem.

Have people not seen the 13 pages of posts?

i think its a lovely idea and obviously popular

nobody will force you to go

Peterborough lido did it the year before last. I didn’t mind as it was after the last public session. It was really popular.

My auntie used to have to take Sam, her rescue Lab, to the sea, he in a life before her used to get "trained" with a hosepipe, he had PTSB so normal washing him was a no go, he loved the ocean but it was a pain for my auntie, if we had Lidos here he would have loved it
