Dog Swim Lesson Experience

Whether your dog is new to the water or just needs a little extra practice, the Dog Swim Lesson Experience at SUP Pups is the perfect introduction—interactive, fun, and supportive! Unlike typical indoor dog swim facilities where pups are placed in a small pool alone and owners can only watch, this experience focuses on connection and confidence for both you and your dog. You’ll paddle out together on stable boards into the calm channel of Liberty Station, where our instructors take the time to get your pup comfortable on the board and gradually introduce them to swimming at their own pace.

The experience includes paddle board use and instruction, hands-on guidance from a certified SUP Pups instructor, action photos and videos, and a calm, safe environment for both human and dog. Dog life vests and human waist PFDs are provided if needed, and plenty of praise, treats, and tail wags come standard. Sessions last about an hour and include a land demo followed by paddle time. SUP Pups is located in Liberty Station, Point Loma, San Diego, paddling down a quiet, no-wake channel that ends at a private military dock.
