Grab your furry friend and get ready to hit the pool! The City of Toronto will have dogs-only swimming at a number of its outdoor pools to close out the summer pool season.

According to the city, “On the last day of the outdoor pool season, the City will offer free, dogs-only swim at several locations.”
