What is Swimming For?
Aquatic Exercise That Makes a Difference
Stronger. Safer. Supported.
Full-body movement with less impact
At Bailey’s Journey, we provide structured canine aquatic exercise in a warm, controlled environment. Swimming offers a full-body, low-impact workout that supports mobility, strength, and overall wellness.
Water reduces joint stress while encouraging natural movement — making it an ideal option for dogs recovering from injury, aging dogs needing joint support, and active dogs building endurance.
We proudly work alongside local veterinarians and follow veterinary care plans when prescribed.
Aquatic Exercise Services Supporting Veterinary Care Plans
We frequently receive referrals from veterinarians for dogs needing structured aquatic exercise as part of their recovery or maintenance plan.
We support dogs experiencing
- Cruciate ligament injuries (pre- and post-surgical support)
- Hip or shoulder procedures
- Intervertebral disc complications
- Neurological weakness
- Arthritis and mobility decline
- Hip dysplasia
- Muscle atrophy
- Post-injury conditioning
When under veterinary care, we
- Follow written veterinary instructions
- Provide session documentation if requested
- Communicate directly with your veterinarian when appropriate
- Fax or email required forms directly to the clinic
Our role is to implement the aquatic portion of your dog’s care plan — not replace veterinary oversight.
Not every dog needs a referral
We also offer:
- Conditioning swims
- Weight management swims
- Energy-burning exercise sessions
- Confidence-building water introduction
- Senior mobility support
These sessions do not require a veterinary referral unless your dog has a medical condition or is currently under veterinary direction.
Why aquatic exercise works
Many dogs that struggle on land thrive in water.
