12th September - 4th October
DOGTEMBER 2026, the biggest dog swimming event in the UK, will run for four weekends, beginning 12th/13th September to 3rd & 4th of October.
Featuring numerous breed meet-ups, if your dog prefers to be with others like them!
The Lido site is totally secure and the only gate is permanently manned so that your dog can be off-lead to run, jump & splash to their heart’s content. If they’re not confident diving straight into the 40m (heated) pool, with it's wide, shallow steps for easy access, they can play in the gently sloping splash pool with a slide & chaseable water spouts. There's also lots of grass for zoomies!
Get to Saltdean Lido on routes 12, 12X and 13X. You can read our guidance about dogs on buses here.
