An animal highlight at the Homberg outdoor pool

When the Homberg outdoor pool transforms into a water stage for four-legged friends at the end of September, an unusual and simultaneously heartfelt event experience emerges. At the 2nd Duisburg Dog Swimming Days, dog love, leisure feeling, and sports atmosphere come together. The grounds fill with curious visitors while dogs take over the pool, try stand-up paddling, and create a lively atmosphere among the sales booths, agility offerings, and photo moments.

Swim, play, discover

The focus is on the joy of dogs in the water. In addition, there will be an agility park, dog stand-up paddling, professional pet photography, as well as information booths and sales stalls around dogs. The event is clearly tailored to families, teenagers, and dog owners, combining event management with a target group approach that focuses on activity, closeness, and genuine joy. The outdoor pool provides an appropriate backdrop with generous spaces and a relaxed leisure environment.

Well organized and with clear rules

The organization is reflected in the binding participation guidelines: leash requirement on the premises, no access with drag or flex leashes, only dogs are allowed in the water, and children from eight years should be able to swim. For participating dogs, the EU pet passport, a valid rabies certificate, dog liability insurance, and evidence of dog tax are required. This creates a trustworthy event experience with a clear structure and comprehensible safety planning.

An outdoor pool with the best infrastructure

The Homberg outdoor pool offers ideal conditions: a 50-meter sports pool, a 1- and 3-meter diving tower, a children's pool, as well as a 50-meter non-swimmer pool with two slides. The modernized entrance area also provides more space, better orientation, and additional accessibility. This improves the event's quality in terms of access, comfort, and visitor guidance.

Prices, advance sale, and participation

The entrance fees are clearly regulated: dogs pay 3 euros, adults and youths from 16 years 2 euros, children from 8 to 15 years 1 euro. The advance sale runs through the city-managed pools and the Baederportal Duisburg. Those seeking something special will experience an extraordinary late summer event with animal charm, sporty character, and plenty of movement.

Conclusion: The 2nd Duisburg Dog Swimming Days offer a mix of dog fun, family experience, and well-organized leisure event. Anyone who loves animals and appreciates a special event atmosphere should experience this date live.
