2. Best done in groups to
encourage a diverse range
of options
The internet has created
an easy way to find new
locations
http://www.swimminghol
es.org/vt.html is a great
guide for finding natural
swimming spots for
couples, families, or
people looking for a thrill
3. Now is the time to collect the necessary supplies
for the excursion
Typical items to be brought include:
Towel
Swim Attire
Sunblock
Food
Alcohol*
Other tasty beverages
Don’t forget to bring a towel!
*For those needing extra motivation and/or
seeking to enhance the experience
4. How many people are going? Be sure to count
everyone in the group!
Determine how many vehicles are necessary and
if they are capable of reaching the location
Note: Sports cars are not off-road vehicles
Dive to location
5. Usually, there are paths that
lead directly to the end
destination
Occasionally, further
exploration is required
Find a suitable location for the
gear
Jumping with gear prior to
staging is not recommended as
the gear will get wet
6. Jumping into an unknown location is a bad
idea
Watch for other people jumping; chances
are if they lived the fall, you will too
If there are no people in the area, you
have several options:
(1) Climb down and swim the area to
determine depth
(2) Throw rocks into the area to
determine depth
(3) Draw straws and let one person
jump first to determine the depth*
*this is a last resort option
7. So the landing is safe, and you’re ready to take
the leap
Determine a suitable jump spot and move to
that area
10. Pretty self-explanatory
To add to the fun, try one of these other
fun options:
Jumping from other places!
Diving!
Flips!
Belly-flops!
Skinny-dipping!*
*not recommended in conjunction with
jumping unless precautionary measures
are taken
11. Take only pictures.
Leave only footprints!
Ensure all of your trash
is picked up
Don’t be afraid to clean
up other trash that
inconsiderate people
have left behind
Our continued use of
these areas is
contingent upon
peoples’ care of the
area
