A competition-style dog diving pool in Central Texas, built for dock diving practice and events — for first-timers and seasoned jumpers alike.
Start here
Dock diving is beautifully simple: your dog runs down a dock, chases a toy you throw and launches into the water. That's the whole sport. Any breed, any size — the only real requirements are that your dog likes water and likes chasing something.
Private rentals
The Dock Diving Pool is rented privately, so the water is yours for the session. Standard rental periods run from 1 to 4 hours. Group sizes and pricing are handled through the K9 Water World booking system, and the park is open 7 days a week by appointment only.

Every attendee completes the K9 Water World release and waiver before pool access.
The facility
Our Dock Diving Pool is purpose-built for the sport, not a swimming pool with a dock bolted on. It's 4 feet deep throughout with easy-access ramps at both ends so dogs can pop out and go again, and the booking includes access to a surround-sound speaker system for your session.

For competitors
Sanctioned dock diving in the U.S. runs through North America Diving Dogs (NADD), where dogs are measured on the distance or height of their jump and earn titles from recorded results. K9 Water World isn't NADD — we're the water you train in before and between events.
Timing between the run, the throw and the leap is where distance comes from. Private sessions let you repeat it.
Ramps at both ends mean quick resets, so a session is mostly jumps instead of waiting.
The pool is open air and not climate controlled — the same outdoor conditions as event day.
Plenty of guests work with an independent trainer or handler and book the pool for their sessions. Reach out and we'll be glad to point you toward professionals in the area who use our water.
