Swimming Fun for a Good Cause
Many people wonder whether the water is even safe for dogs. The operators note that regular swimmers are no longer allowed access after the end of the summer season. This ensures that chlorination is stopped in time, so that the chlorine in the pool has broken down by the time the dog swimming day arrives. This means your dogs can safely drink the water and swim to their hearts’ content.
In addition to the pools, the grassy areas are also available for playing and running around. Furthermore, the admission fee of 5 euros per dog goes directly as a donation to the Tierschutzverein München e.V., which will be on site with its own information booth starting at 12:00 p.m. each day. Accompanying guests , however, get free admission. No reservation is required at , so you can just drop by on a whim.
