Day of Sign Up available for $15 / game

Each jump is a chance to win! Test your skills and try your paw at the following fun-filled games:

Note: Times are approximate

Distance Dives 9am-11am

In this game, dogs will be judged on how far they can jump from the dock into the pool. Judging will be based on the nose of the dog. Contestants are encouraged to bring fun toys that their dogs love to chase into the water! You will have 2 jumps (plus a practice jump if you’d like) and the farthest counts for your score. If time allows you can sign up multiple times!

Ramp Races 11am-1pm

Not ready for the dock? That’s fine! This game is PERFECT for those dogs who love to swim off the ramp. Owners will throw a toy or have a second handler calling their dog from the end of the pool. Contestants will release their dog from the ramp, dogs must pass the 35 ft line and will be timed for how long it takes them to swim from 10 ft to 35 ft length. 2 attempts, fastest time count!

Puddle Jumpers (Puppy friendly!) 1pm-2pm

While dogs 6 months and older can compete in all the games, this game is targeted for the puppies! This will be a mini version of Ramp Races ONLY available for puppies 4 months – 12 months of age. They will be timed from the 10 ft distance to 25 ft distance. Contestants can have someone on the side of the pool encouraging or luring their puppy for success!

Team Relays 2pm-4pm

Grab a friend and lets race! Dogs can leave from the dock or the ramp. Teams can either be on the dock together or separate. They will individually be timed from the moment they leave the dock or ramp to the moment they touch the ramp on return. Dogs must pass the 25 ft line minimally.

Bobbing for Balls 4pm-5pm

26 Balls (coordinating with a letter) will be thrown in the pool, your dog will swim and pick a ball (can be released from dock or ramp). The coordinating letter will have a prize associated with it. ONLY 26 spots available per day. Only 1 per person unless it does not sell out. Want to join in on the fun but don’t have a dog? NO SWEAT! We have a volun-dog that will retrieve a ball for you ?? Dogs entering this event must be experienced with retrieving balls from the pool, if you do not have one we can supply one!
