Price Changes effective September 30, 2023

Greetings Pool Family!

We are writing to let you know that there will be a price increase effective September 30, 2023. We avoided an increase in 2022, however we must increase pricing in 2023. We will notify as many clients at the pool as possible and are reaching out via email as well.

A few important reasons our prices are changing.

We believe in being as transparent as possible as every client we have becomes part of our pool family.

The State has imposed a new contribution that pays for Oregon Leave Act. We believe this to be a great program for our employees and it was the right direction to help ensure employees are covered in times of need.

 Pool chemical prices have increased again and are expected to continue rising due to inflation. Maintenance fees have increased due to wage increases of the servicers at the pool supply store. Rent increases every year as well.

 The biggest need for a price change? We feel it is necessary to pay a living wage to our employees. It’s important that they can afford to grow with the increasing cost of living and inflation which is still hitting the nation pretty hard. We have long lasting employees that we wish to stay with us and grow with us. This last year has been especially difficult for our employees, and us as employers. We were able to maintain our employees at full time, however not without difficulty.


We care about our pool family.

We understand this change could prove difficult for some. We are absolutely available to discuss any exceptions that need to be made to ensure your dog gets the care he/she needs. We do not want to make it completely unaffordable for a dog that needs swimming to improve their quality of life. If you have been a client of ours, you can understand that we will help in any way we can.

We want to thank our current and past clients for sticking with us throughout the years. Without you, we would not have been able to continue swimming.

We thank you for your understanding!

You are welcome to purchase ahead at the current rates for future swim packages. Payments are accepted via website, check, cash or card at the pool.

Regular 1 Swim $60.00

Price Changes effective July 1, 2021

Greetings Pool Family!

We are writing to let you know that there is a price increase effective July 1, 2021. We have resisted an increase for quite some time, however we can no longer avoid it. We have notified as many clients at the pool as possible and are reaching out via email as well.

We have kept our prices as low as possible since we opened in 2012. Our current rates are less than half of what others in our industry charge. The increase will still be at 1/3 to 1/2 less than what others charge for similar services.

A few important reasons our prices are changing.

We believe in being as transparent as possible as every client we have becomes part of our pool family.

Pool chemical prices have increased and are expected to continue rising due to chemical shortages across the nation. Maintenance fees have increased due to wage increases of the servicers at the pool supply store. We are in need of new flooring and concrete treatment. Rent increases as well. Structural improvements have costs that are due every month that we did not have before.

The biggest need for a price change? We feel it is necessary to pay a living wage to our employees. It’s important that they can afford to grow with the increasing cost of living and inflation. We have long lasting employees that we wish to stay with us and grow with us. This last year has been especially difficult for our employees, and us as employers. We were able to maintain our employees at full time, however not without difficulty. The stay at home order affected us and our clients for quite some time. At last, we are beginning to see recovery.

We care about our pool family.

We understand this change could prove difficult for some. We are absolutely available to discuss any exceptions that need to be made to ensure your dog gets the care he/she needs. We do not want to make it completely unaffordable for a dog that needs swimming to improve their quality of life.
