Kentlands Annual Dog Swim, September 2

 

The Kentlands community annual dog swim will take place on the final day of the pool season, September 2, 2013. The swimming pool will close for the season at 4 p.m. and the dogs will be allowed in the pool and can swim until 6 p.m.

This is an enjoyable event for dog owners in Kentlands. Be sure to have your camera in hand to capture some good photographs.

Call the Clubhouse if you have any questions about the dog swim.  301-948-2071

For out of town readers, Kentlands is a wonderful neo-traditional community located in Gaithersburg, Maryland, in the heart of Montgomery County. Kentlands is one of the favorite communities for families that are relocated to the metro area of Washington, DC.

Hi Roy,

The title reminded me of when i was a kid and would go to the Coon hunting events. The dog swim was a very big event. We won a lot of times. But that was back in the 1960's.

Have a great day in Gaithersburg my friend.

Best, Clint McKie

Can it be said then that the pool has gone to the dogs? What a great event for pet owners. i would love to be able to watch. Yesterday i went to the lake and saw a dog on a paddle board, they were a little too far out to get a clear picture with my zoom though. Have a good Monday

Love the idea of a pool party for the pups - some of them just don't know how to swim (like my bulldog) but they can definitely waddle!

Roy, this has to be quite the site, and hope you capture a video on this event!    Those dogs will sleep so good that night!

I love it when communities, such as the Kendlands, do this for the furry members of the neighborhood!

Hope you have a great week!

Hi Roy, That sounds like a lot of fun for the dogs as well as their owners!  

Is that your dog in the photo?

Hi, Roy...this would be a great event with a lot of photo opps. I hope you get a chance to go and share some pictures will all of us. I don't know if my dog can swim, but I recently found out that one of my cats can practically walk on water when in a pinch and faced with a wet situation.

Dolores is heading to the golf course this morning and is hoping to finish a round before the afternoon thunderstorms that are predicted.
