Hatfield Aquatic Center hosted furry swimmers and their owners last weekend.

Forget synchronized swimming – doggy paddling was the event of the day Saturday afternoon at the Hatfield Aquatic Center.

Hatfield Township’s Parks & Recreation Department presented Dog-A-Pooloza, a community event that made waves with a paws-itively good time as canines and owners swam together.

While one did lane laps in the water, the other just lapped it up.

Attendees paid $10 per dog and $5 per human, which ran from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Dogtown Rescue and Puddy Buddy food truck were also featured at the event.

Check out photos of the wet and wild fun below.
