Annual Dog Swim Returns to AV Symington Pool
Leesburg, VA (August 23, 2019) – On Saturday,
September 7, Ida Lee Park will hold its 11th annual Dog
Swim at AV Symington Aquatic Center. The pool will be
open for the dog-only swim from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The event allows local pups the opportunity to have fun in

dogs.
Dog handlers must be 16 years or older and are limited to
two dogs each. All dogs must be at least 6 months old,
legally licensed, vaccinated, and wearing a visible dog
license. All exits will be gated and a veterinarian will be on
site as a precaution.
Children 9 years old and younger will need to remain in
the snack area of the pool deck. No food will be allowed.
The fee is $5.00 per dog. Registration is currently available online through WebTrac or by
visiting the front desk at Ida Lee Recreation Center. Walk-up registration on the day of the
event is welcome as well. For more information, please visit www.idalee.org or call 703-777-
