If you’re looking to treat your four-legged friend to some serious fun, a new pool has opened in central Alberta that is just for dogs to enjoy. Hydro Hounds in Hinton, a town about three hours west of Edmonton, started taking bookings for its new facility earlier this week. “After months of planning, building, and preparing, we’re so excited to welcome you and your pups to our brand-new private indoor dog swimming facility. Whether your dog loves to swim, needs low-impact exercise, is building confidence around water, or simply wants to have fun, we can’t wait to meet you,” the location stated on its Facebook page. Bookings for the pool can be made online, with a 30-minute private swim costing $30, while a 45-minute private swim costs $40. Private swim packages are also available. Every booking includes the exclusive use of the facility — no unfamiliar dogs — so your pup can enjoy their time in the water, while life jackets, towels, toys, and an air dryer are available. Who doesn’t love a nice swim? If you’re looking for some places to cool down this summer, we’ve got you covered with the best swimming spots in and around Calgary, and the best lakes to swim in around Edmonton. Would you love to take your dog to a swimming pool like this one for some time in the water? Let us know in the comments. HYDRO HOUNDS Address: #13 116 Hampshire Rd., Hinton, Alta.
