In keeping with its well deserved reputation as a dog friendly city, Alexandria will host the Fifth Annual Doggie Day Swim party on Tuesday, September 2. The event is slated to run from 4:00 - 7:00pm at the Old Town Pool, 1609 Cameron St.

Admission is $5 and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.

Labor Day marks the official end of the summer pool season - for humans - but the city’s dogs will have the last swim, complete with games, treats and toys.

All participating dogs must wear current vaccination tags and be well-behaved both in and out of the pool. “Handlers” must be 16 yrs. of age or older and may not swim or enter the pool with their dogs.

For more information., call the Chinquapin Park Recreation Center at 703.519.2160.

I don’t know about you but this sounds like a whole lot of fun to me!
