ANN ARBOR – It’s that time of year again -- pools will soon close and schools will reopen but not without one very important community event in between: Ann Arbor’s Dog Swim.

The swims will take place on Thursday, Sept. 9 and Friday, Sept. 10 from 3-8 p.m.

All participants must register in advance for 30-minute time slots. Spaces are limited, according to a city release.
