Montgomery County hosted its 16th Annual Pooch Plunge on August 22, 2026, at the Great Seneca Creek Park pool in Germantown, Maryland. The event allowed dogs to swim in the pool before it closed for the season.
According to Montgomery County Recreation, the event was open to all leashed dogs, with owners required to show proof of current rabies vaccination. The plunge is part of the county's efforts to provide community activities for residents and their pets.
Photos from the event show dogs of various breeds enjoying the water, with owners and spectators cheering them on. The event has been a popular tradition for 16 years, drawing hundreds of participants each year.
For those who missed it, Montgomery County Recreation often hosts similar events at other pools, and the Pooch Plunge is expected to return next summer.
