It's Time for the Annual Doggie Day Swim

The dog days of summer may be waning, but that means it's time for the city's annual Doggie Day Swim.

The seventh annual event will be held Sept. 15 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Old Town Pool, 1609 Cameron St.

This year, thanks to a donation by Your Dogs Best Friend, admission is free.

There are a few rules:

• Dog handlers must be 16 years of age or older, and cannot swim or enter the pool with their dogs.
• Dogs must be sociable and remain leashed while on the pool deck.
• All dogs should wear current vaccination tags or must have a current rabies certificate or letter from their veterinary stating that they have received the shots in order to gain entry to the event.
• Space is limited to 100 dogs in the pool area at one time.
