Not only do dogs get to enjoy the water and make some new friends, but their owners can also get their feet wet and socialize with fellow dog lovers during a warm, summer afternoon.

In addition, the Kingsport Aquatic Center will offer giveaway raffles throughout the events.Admission is $5 per dog (pre-registration) and $7 per dog at the door. Owners are admitted for free. Limit two dogs per person, and the dogs’ handler must be over 18. All handlers must have a leash with them and all dogs must wear a collar.
