- Works on iPhone, Android, and desktop Chrome
Everything you need on the water
Near Me
Sort swimming holes by distance from your location. GPS runs in your browser — we never store your coordinates.
Open Near Me →Saved spots
Bookmark places you want to visit. Open a listing once online, then revisit directions and safety notes with spotty signal.
View saved →Offline access
The app shell and pages you visit are cached on your device so planning does not stop when cell service drops.
Offline help →Full directory
Browse all 833+ documented holes by state, water type, town, and region — same data as the website.
Browse directory →Add to your home screen
