SUPERIOR, Colo. — Dozens of dogs dived, dipped and dashed at Superior’s South Pool during the annual Dog Daze event on September 4 as the pool closed for the season.

Brighton, Thornton and Pueblo also give dogs the chance to swim before workers drain city pools. In 2023, Fort Collins permanently cancelled its pooch plunge citing environmental concerns. Boulder followed suit this year because of budget concerns. 

Superior’s South Pool lifeguards have yet to perform CPR on a K-9.
