The Swimming Hole: a free large-print word search

Swimming hole word search — free and large-print. Sun-warmed rock, cold water rushing up, the rope in your hands before the drop.

About Seasonal

A good swimming hole needs just the right combination: a deep pocket of cold water, a rope hung from an overhanging limb, and a flat rock for drying off in the afternoon sun. The approach is always barefoot — gravel giving way to cool mud at the bank — and the sound of someone's cannonball echoes off the trees before the splash even settles. On the quieter stretches, tadpoles scatter in the shallows and the current barely whispers, making it easy to forget the rest of the world exists.

How to play
