Summer swimming pool events

Check out all the events happening at our swimming pools this summer!

  • Pound Pup Pool Parties are back for 2025!

    Cost

    $10 per dog – all money goes to helping animals in need.

    All of the money will be given to Fundraising for Impounded Dogs and Animal Welfare Network NZ.

    These events are an opportunity for us to give back to rescue organisations who have supported Waikato Pound Pups by helping us rehome dogs, puppies, and fundraise for those that need an extra bit of TLC before being rehomed.

    Our event is cash only. We do not have Eftpos facilities.

    Spot prizes

    We have some amazing spot prizes to be given out throughout the day, thanks to our incredible sponsors (keep an eye out for posts).

    Your chance to win lots of goodies for your doggo!

    We have two incredible raffles (one per event). $5 per ticket - 100 tickets per raffle. Tickets can only be purchased at the event. The winners will be randomly drawn the following week and winners will be notified by phone.

    Time

    All dogs are welcome to come from 10am-1pm.

    The last hour from 1-2pm is reserved for small dogs (under 20kgs) or dogs that are nervous and need a little more time and space.

    Important

    All dogs must be fully vaccinated, registered with your local council, in good health, and well socialized with people and other dogs. All dogs must be on a lead when not in water and all owners are responsible for cleaning up after their dogs. We can’t wait to see you!
