"Swim N Hole" Falls Iconis our first version of a mobile app.  It should work on all mobile devices and provides a simple, browser-based mobile portal to our regular swimming hole web pages.  It also includes some important safety/health info as well as some fun links to pictures and videos.  

We are working on a more custom-tailored mobile app that begins with an interactive national map of swimming holes.then goes directly to the selected listing (Thanks to Richard Mageau).

The current app runs on iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch as well as on Android and Windows devices and it is free.  It is in the Android Market but not in the iTunes app store.  

Here's how to get it for all devices:
  • For Android:  From your Android device, go to the Android market and search for "swim n hole" and download it.
  • For iPhone, iPad, Ipod Touch and Windows Phone:   From your device, go to the website www.SwimmingHoles.info (this web site)  and it will prompt you to get the app. (it is not available from the iTunes App Store)

Using the app:

Touch the icon and you should see the app menu page open (may be slow loading).

Touch "Pick a State" and it will open the usual State swimming holes web page.

If you have a small screen, follow the instructions for "Small Screen Devices" on the State page to narrow the text (you may have to do this more than once).

Zoom in on the state map and touch a swimming hole symbol to go to the listing.

Navigating:

Getting around in this browser-based app is a bit awkward until you get used to it.  (Definitely not as smooth as we will have in our future custom-tailored app)  Some rules are:
  • Never use our "TO HOMEPAGE" to get back to the app menu from a State page - you need to restart the app to do that.
  • Always use our "TO STATE MAP" to go back to the State map within a State page.
  • Use the Google maps link sparingly - you need to restart the app to go back to the State page after you do that.
