Critter Pool Time..
 
I'm intrigued by the Critter Pool time class offered at Savannah Center. Has anyone tried it and what can be expected? I want to give it a try sometime.

I'm intrigued by the Critter Pool time class too. What do they teach there? The "Doggie Paddle"?

So I can bring my critters to the cement pond at Savannah?

Where did you read about this? In the rec magazine? If it's pool time for dogs, I'm astounded.

Judging from your smilie...the big teeth showing grin, that you are pulling on our legs, RIGHT?

So I will add a little more leg pulling.

No, its in the Savannah rec center pool schedule, but no explanation in the back as to what it is.

Enjoyed that video now there's some dog lovers! Seriously, there is a class listed in the activities paper "Critters in the Pool" at the Savannah Center I believe starting at 9 a.m. I don't have a paper in hand now but I don't recall seeing a contact phone number for questions. I intend to mosey over and do an observation sometime. In the meantime, just wanted to know if anyone had actually participated. Thinking it might be a fun activity with the fur babies.

I'm assuming it's for dogs given the "critter" title. I don't recall seeing a contact phone number listed for questions. Considering all the dog lovers here I wondered if anyone had participated and what their thoughts were on it.

DonH57 06-14-2015 09:25 AM

Maybe it's a beginners level swim class.

Our fur baby in the water leaves enough hair behind to make another pet. So how would they ever get the fur out of the water. Hard to believe

You could call the Savannah Rec center and ask. If they can't answer, they could give you the contact number for the person leading the class. I seriously doubt they would let dogs in the pool.

Wonder what "critter" refers to? I'll make that call and see. Thank you.

Can I bring my pet gator? :laugh:

When we rented 3 years or so ago in creekside landing we had to run pair ducks off for the pool for early morning swim. You would think with lake across BV they of preferred it? You maybe surprised what in the public pool when nobody watching:eek::eek::eek:

Yes, please let us know. I would have done that myself, but I'm unable to right now.

Just an FYI, Savannah Center is closed until the 19th for annual cleaning. You may not get an answer when you call.

About 10-11 years ago I attended a water aerobics class there called Bridgette's Critters. Bridget retired but is it possible that the class has resumed? This was a very popular class. They even had hats that had that name on them. I bet that's the answer!

That is the answer! My only defenses are: 1) I am a natural blonde 2) When I mentioned the possibility of dog pool time my hubby didn't correct me; i.e. my checks/balance system failed me. 3) Sometimes I look at the world through my dog loving heart.

Carry on...and pardon my interruption. However, if you're ever having a pool party with dogs ya' know who to invite!:oops:

TheVillageChicken 06-29-2015 04:52 PM

There is a golfing group called The Village Critters....maybe some connection.
