K9Splash 2008!

Visit Our Swim Sponsors

Come Join Us at the 2nd annual K9Splash, jointly sponsored by the Cedar Rapids Parks & Recreation and K9COLA!

It's time for your canine friend to practice swimming skills, particularly the doggy paddle. Bever Pool will be the site for this exciting social outing. It's a great enclosed area for pups to run free. Join in the fun with your furry friends. Open to dogs of all ages.

Saturday, August 23, 10:00 a.m.-5:30 p.m. at Bever Pool. Call 286-5731 for a flyer and registration information or get a flyer from one of the pools.

Special swim towels will be available to purchase as a park fundraiser, only $10!

Another great opportunity: low cost microchip clinic sponsored by Cedar Rapids Animal Control will take place from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at K9Splash! Cost will be $20.00; proceeds will benefit Animal Control. WOW!! This is a great deal!

We still need of volunteers to help the day of the event. Times we need volunteers are:

9:30 to 12:30 (includes helping with set up)
12:15 to 3:15 (during swim)
3:00 to close (includes clean-up)

We will need help with registration, guarding entrances, and supervision in the pool area. Remember if you volunteer for a time block, you are allowed one free admittance for a four-legged friend!

Please let Kelly know if you can help! Let's make this event bigger and larger than last year! Contact her at home (319-364-7343) or via email (kelly.archer@gmail.com for further details.)

Remember, all dogs entering the pool area will need to have either a current park permit or show proof of valid vaccinations the day of the swim!

Here are some forms you'll find useful for the swim:
