A leisure centre in north Oxfordshire welcomed more than 150 wagging tails last weekend for a swim to mark the end of the pool season.
The dog-friendly swims took place at Woodgreen Leisure Centre in Banbury on Saturday (September 21) and Sunday (September 22).
Around 250 swimmers attended and 164 dogs enjoyed a swim at the outdoor pool.
Operations manager Olivia Hithersay said: "This is our second year running our dog swim after Covid, and we expanded our capacity this year due to huge demand.

"It's always a really fun community event, even in the rain, and a lovely opportunity for owners to enjoy swimming with their dogs.
"With ongoing concerns about the safety of rivers and lakes, owners appreciate having a safe, contained environment to share with their dogs.
"This year we also had a craft fair, which we hope to expand on next year."
