Indoor Dog Pool
Recreational Swim and Open and Reserved/Private Swim
Is your dog eligible for recreational swimming? If your dog is healthy (no lameness, weakness, recent surgery, or other physical issues) they are eligible for recreational swimming. If your dog has had surgery recently (within the last eight months), has mobility issues or other health issues we will need to assess whether he/she is eligible. Please contact us if you have any questions as to whether your dog is eligible.
If it’s your dog’s first time swimming in our facility, call to schedule a time for your first visit for orientation.
Swim your dog for fun or exercise in Southwest Missouri’s first public, heated, indoor swimming pool for dogs. Our Neosho location offers a 24 foot x 12 foot pool fill with hours of fun!
To ensure high standards of hygiene, our water management system filters, heats and sanitizes the water through a circulation pump, a specially designed in-line electric heater and a high-rate sand filter system.
Doggy life vests are available for those dogs just learning to swim or those needing a little support.
We ask people to complete an intake form and an orientation with a representative on their first visit. Refer to our pool rules prior to visiting.

Doggie Life Vests
Is your dog just learning to swim or in need of a little support? Doggy life vests are available for use.
Always Remember
Plan on getting wet….the dogs do like to come near you up on the deck and shake. Remember to wear clothes that dry easily. Please note that only Gateway Getaway staff members are allowed inside of the pool with the dogs while they swim (Unless during a private swim) but you are welcome to watch and snap photos.

- You are responsible for your dog and its behavior while on the property, including your dog’s interaction with other dogs. Please attend to your dogs at all times: There is no doggy life guard so this is especially important while your dog is in the pool area.
- All dogs MUST BE ON LEASH while in the building until they enter the gated pool area.
- The pool is available on a first-come-first-serve basis during normal hours of operation and we try to limit the amount of pups in the pool area at once. We highly recommend you book in advance to ensure you pup has a spot at the time you choose.

- You must take your dog out to “potty” before entering the pool, and every 10 – 15 minutes while swimming. Repeated droppings in the pool may result in a pool ban for your dog.
