After a shake and a quick swap of a blue ball for a classic yellow tennis ball the adorable black dog runs off ready for another go in the pool.

There were a few rules for the day to make sure everyone had a great time. Each dog had to have a human on a lead, and if the owner wanted to dip in the pool too they had to buy a swim ticket.
Saltdean Lido Community Interest Company also wrote on Facebook: ‘We have a Zero Tolerance policy towards aggression, so if either you or your Human growl or snarl, you’ll both be asked to leave.’
Deryck Chester, from the Saltdean Lido Community Interest Company, said that the event was such a success it may become an annual tradition, reports the Argus.
He said: ‘This one was more popular than last year. We’re going to make it an annual tradition, I think. It’s a nice way to round of the season.
‘There are lots of dog lovers in Brighton so we thought it’s a very Brighton thing to come up with this madcap idea.’
