The Knoxville Parks and Recreation Department will offer the sixth annual “Doggie Dip” on Sunday, Sept. 10, from 1-5 p.m. at Inskip Pool, 4204 Bruhin Road.

It’s the end of the swimming pool season, and Inskip Pool will once again offer a dog-only swim party, sponsored by Powell Animal Hospital. Dog owners are encouraged to bring their furry friends out for a refreshing dip and afternoon of socializing.

"We're happy to provide fun activities that get people outdoors and enjoying a new kind of special event at the pool. This happens to be an event where the entire family is invited – especially the dogs," said Joe Walsh, City Parks and Recreation Director.

The cost is $5 per canine or human entrant, with a two-dog maximum for each owner. Lifeguards will be on site during the Doggie Dip. 

All dogs are required to have up-to-date vaccinations, leashes and tags for the event. Doggie Dip registration forms must be completed for each dog attending.
