EJRP presents the first annual “If I Could Only Paddle Like A Doggy….” swimming event for dogs at Maple Street Pool on Sunday, August 24, from 1:00-4:00p.m. The entrance fee will be $5.00 per dog. There is no charge per person. Please note, this event is for dogs to swim in the pool, not for people. Both the small and large pool will be open, including the low diving board.

Dogs must be on leash from the parking lot into the pool area. Dogs are only permitted in the pool area – they are not allowed to be in Maple Street Park. If your dog does not socialize well with other dogs, or does not do well in situations where there are a lot of other dogs and people, please do not bring your dog to this event. Dogs showing signs of aggression will be asked to leave. No refunds. All dogs must wear their collar with an up to date dog license. One handler can only bring a maximum of two dogs. Please do not bring toys that your dog is possessive over, however, you may bring balls, Frisbees or other toys that they won’t mind sharing.

All proceeds will benefit the Essex Dog Park, located at 111 West Street. For more information, call 878-1375.
