If you live at the pool in the summer or love to hit the beach year-round, you probably want your doggie BFF to be able to accompany you to your favorite haunts.

Don’t miss out the 17th FINA World Championships in Budapest and Balatonfüred from July 14th to 30th, 2017 where Olympic and Worlds Medallists like Chad Le Clos, Katinka Hosszu or Alia Atkinson will go straight to the final!
Olympic gold medallist Kyle Chalmers has made the decision to withdraw from the 2017 FINA World Championships team and will by-pass Budapest to focus on his long-term swimming career.
The break will enable Chalmers and his medical team to further explore his heart condition, known as Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT), without the added responsibility of having to be in peak form and ready to compete for Australia in July. […]

I have had a surgery in the past, and unfortunately, it did not work. Whilst the timing for this follow up is not ideal, the symptoms have reached a point where I must act to ensure I am in peak physical condition for next year’s Commonwealth Games trials and hopefully the Commonwealth Games.”
