Hi Everyone!
There are big changes for Charke Swim as we announce our expansion to Charke Dog Swim. It seems pretty straight forward, but we'll be accepting canine students in the future. Dog Swim times will be a little different than human times, greatly because the pool must be cleaned after each visit and, unfortunately, it means the prices will actually need to be just a little higher than for human visitors. Classes will include Dogswim 1 to 3, and Senior Dogswim. Dogs must be housebroken to attend, but otherwise there are no requirments. Due to an unfortunate incident, I am no longer able to provide services to chihuahua breeds. In the images, you can see Rex, Josh and Tiffany, the latter of which had to be asked to leave unfortunately. I have many years of experience with dogs. My parents were dog breeders (and Parrot breeders) and I've worked with a wide range and size of dogs. With my years of swim lesson training, this is just a logical step forward for me. I have no problem working with dogs who are nervous about water and I have no problem working with dogs who can't wait to jump in! There are a few types of equipment to consider for your dog. Dog-lifejackets make certain activities a little easier if they aren't strong swimmers. Dog-goggles, while rare and difficult to get, open a whole new world to your dog. At this time my existing toys will be available for the dogs but in the near future, I'll be looking at getting a separate set of toys for them. With the test classes complete, public registration will open shortly.
