Dog Days of Summer Swim

The Kennedy Pool is going to the dogs on Sept. 10. From noon-3 p.m. the Kennedy Aquatic Center is opening its doors once again to man's best friend.

Bring your pooch for a dip in the pool and a whole lot more. There will be contests — including best swim suit (for the dog), people-pet look-alike, and "Smoochy Poochy" — use your imagination. Plus, games are planned: Fetch in the water, longest/farthest jump and more.

Pet friendly vendors also will be in attendance starting at 11 a.m.

Dogs must be licensed and vaccinated — be sure to bring proof — and owners must be prepared for clean-up duty.

Cost is $5 per dog, or if you prefer to only be a spectator, cost is $5 to watch the canine antics.

On-site registration will be held from 11 a.m.-1:30 p.m.
