LEWISBORO, NY — Adult swim was always a drag during childhood summers at the pool, but "a dog" swim, now that's something to see.

This year's season-ending "Drool at the Pool" party will take place on September 12, from noon to 2 p.m. at the Lewisboro Town Park pool. The four-legged swim is open to Lewisboro Pool members and Town of Lewisboro Residents. The cost is $15 per dog.

Even a pool party fit for Spuds MacKenzie has rules:
