In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.

But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.

We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?

This popular event provides a chance for local dogs to socialize and play in the water together. To ensure the safety and health of all participants, several requirements are in place. Dogs must be at least six months old, possess a legal license, and be up-to-date on their vaccinations. They should also wear their visible dog license during the event. For added security, all exits will be gated, and veterinary staff will be present on-site as a precautionary measure. Attendees are encouraged to bring a water dish for their pets, though water will be provided.

Participation in the dog swim is limited, and pre-registration is mandatory, as walk-up registrations will not be accepted. Each person is permitted to bring a maximum of two dogs. The cost to participate is $5.00 per person. Participants must be at least 12 years of age, and those handling dogs must be 16 years or older. Interested residents can register online through WebTrac or in person at the front desk of the Ida Lee Recreation Center. Further information about the event can be found on the Ida Lee Recreation Center website at http://www.idalee.org or by calling 703-777-1368.
