A lido has confirmed dates for its dog swimming events this year.

Saltdean Lido will be holding several "Dogtember" sessions for canines in September.

They will run over four consecutive weekends from September 14 until the weekend of October 6.

Multiple sessions will be held on both days during these weekends, each 90 minutes long.

There will also be an hour-long quiet slot in the evening for a maximum of 50 dogs and 100 humans.

All dogs are invited regardless of size.

A spokesman for Saltdean Lido said dogs can enjoy running, jumping, swimming and splashing in the secure site.

They will have access to the 40m heated pool and a splash pool with a slide and water spouts to chase.

There will also be various stalls offering refreshments as well as ice cream for dogs.

A drying service will also be available.

To attend the sessions, dogs will need a swim ticket and their owners will need either a swim or spectator ticket.

These will be released in spring.

  • September 22
  • September 28
  • September 29
  • October 5
  • October 6

Saltdean Lido also confirmed there will be two separate events specifically for small and large dogs on September 24.

In a message to the canines, a spokesman said: "Once you’re through the gate, you can let your humans off their lead and run, jump, slide, swim and splash to your heart’s content. 

"If you’re not confident diving straight into our 40m (heated) pool, with its wide, shallow steps for easy access, you might prefer our gently sloping splash pool with a slide and chase-able water spouts.  There's also lots of grass for zoomies.

"You aren't allowed into the changing rooms/toilets, but we have easily identifiable stewards who will keep you safe whilst your human is getting changed. 

"We have lockers (using £1 coins) to keep your human's bags safe and to save you the temptation to 'decorate' bags left on the grass."
