Ride Leisure are proud to offer you a very unique experience. Swim with a newfoundland dog.
After a short safety brief you will meet your instructors and the amazing newfoundland dogs. You will then be taken out to the middle of the lake in a small boat and dropped of where life saving drills will take place. These wonderful dogs will then come and rescue you and bring you to shore. Various scenarios will be repeated showing you the power of these amazing swimmers.
Wetsuits and buoyancy aids will be provided.
If you’ve ever met a Newfoundland, chances are you love them. These dogs certainly live up to their “gentle giant” reputation—you’d be hard-pressed to find a sweeter breed (especially when you consider their massive size!).
Newfoundlands were originally bred as working dogs, primarily serving as rescue and service dogs on fisherman ships. While they rarely serve as ship hands anymore, their expert swimming abilities are still alive and well.
Not only are they amazing swimmers, but Newfoundlands also have a knack for water rescue. Newfoundlands have a natural inclination towards rescuing struggling or drowning people from water—they are mother natures lifeguards as they and have been known to brave treacherous water and dangerous conditions to pull people to safety. One of the reasons Newfoundlands are such incredible swimmers is that they have partially webbed feet! Not exactly something you’d expect to see on a dog.
