An Oxfordshire leisure centre recently held its first dog swim at the end of the pool season.

Riverside Parks and Pools in Wallingford held the swim on Sunday, September 8th from 6pm until 7pm to mark the end of the 15-week pool season.

Dogs and their owners had the chance to swim together at the outdoor pool. 

Resident and Wallingford's deputy mayor, Steve Holder, attended the swim with his dog, Rocket, and his friend and their dog, Luna. 

"I think I enjoyed it more than the dogs," he said.
