Text Box: Splash Days This incredibly popular event returns this year to the Central Coast in an expanded version. We all know that dogs love to swim so we’ve reserved the Templeton and Shandon pools to give our pooches a chance to hit the water and have some fun. We’ll have beach balls, retrieval toys, and experienced dog handlers in the water to make this a truly memorable event. Dogs only are allowed in the pool. Dog handlers and trainers will be in the water to ensure the safety of dogs. Dog life vests and ramps will be available. The pool officially closes prior to this event and will be cleaned and inspected before reopening next summer. This event is very popular in many U.S. cities as a fun way to end the summer for dog owners. Swim times are limited to 45 minutes and are scheduled on the hour. The first swim session is limited to small dogs under 25 pounds. When: Templeton Community Pool Friday, September 5th, 4 pm—7 pm Saturday, September 6, 10 am— 3 pm Shandon Community Pool Sunday, September 7, 10 am—3 pm Admission: Tax-deductible donation of $10 per dog per swim session payable by cash or check at the door or by advance reservation.
