Welcome to Sam's Pawmates

A swimming pool we'd want for our own dog

Sam's Pawmates is named after Sam, our Golden Retriever and the inspiration behind everything we've built.

Our dedicated swimming pool was designed with the same care we'd want for Sam himself. From special steps that make entering and exiting the water easier to experienced handlers who help nervous and first-time swimmers feel comfortable, every detail is designed around your dog's needs.

And the best part? You can get into the pool with your dog and enjoy the experience together.

The swimming experience

A swimming experience suited to your dog

Every dog takes to water differently. Our team considers your dog's confidence and temperament, giving first-time swimmers the time they need to feel comfortable.

A gradual introduction

First-time swimmers are introduced to the water slowly, without being rushed into swimming before they're ready.

Help when they need it

If your dog is unsure in the water, our handlers can join them in the pool and help them become more comfortable.

Swim alongside them

You're welcome to get into the water with your dog. It's a chance to play together and help them feel more at ease in a new environment.

An optional shower after swimming

After their swim, dogs can have a shower to rinse off the pool water. You can bring your own shampoo and bathe your dog yourself, or have our staff handle it for an additional charge.

Why swimming?

More than just a fun activity

Swimming gives dogs a different way to exercise, play and spend time with their owners.

Low-impact exercise

Water supports a dog's body while they move, making swimming a lower-impact activity than running on hard ground.

A way to stay active

Swimming engages different muscle groups and gives dogs another way to enjoy physical activity.

A break from Chennai's heat

Time in the water can be an enjoyable way for dogs to cool off, with appropriate supervision.

Quality time together

Swimming alongside your dog gives you a chance to share an activity outside your usual walks and playtime.
