Terms of Service
Effective date: July 17, 2026
Welcome to Swimming Hole Finder ("we," "us," "our," swimmingholefinder.com). By using this site, you agree to these terms.
What This Site Is
Swimming Hole Finder is a free, informational directory of natural swimming holes, rivers, and springs across the United States. Listing details — water type, hike distance, and other attributes — are compiled from public sources and user submissions.
Accuracy of Information
We work to keep listings accurate, but access, conditions, and rules change without notice, and we can't guarantee any listing is current or complete. Always confirm current local conditions before making a special trip. Use of this site's information is at your own risk.
Assumption of Risk
Swimming holes, rivers, springs, and other natural bodies of water carry inherent risks, including currents, changing depth, submerged hazards, cold shock, and the absence of lifeguards or supervision. Conditions can change without notice and may differ from what's described in a listing. You assume all risk when visiting any location listed on this site, and are solely responsible for evaluating conditions and your own and others' safety before entering the water. We strongly recommend checking current local conditions, never swimming alone, and using appropriate judgment — especially around cliff-jumping spots or with children.
Submitting a Listing
If you submit a listing through our "Add a swimming hole" form, you confirm the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge and grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free right to publish, edit, and display it on this site. We review all submissions before publishing and may decline or remove any listing at our discretion — for accuracy, policy, safety concerns, or any other reason.
Prohibited Uses
You agree not to:
- Submit false, misleading, or spam content
- Scrape or bulk-download the site in a way that degrades service for other users
- Use the site for any unlawful purpose

Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
