5x expanded by Jakec (talk). Self nominated at 20:14, 17 March 2015 (UTC).

Drive-by suggestion: Perhaps you could eliminate the repetition in the first hook by replacing the second "swimming holes" with "ones"? Yoninah (talk) 11:28, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Long enough, proper expansion, hook generally sourced, no obvious copyvio, sources seem adequate. My quibble is that the sources (and the article) refer to it as a single swimming hole and the hook seems to as three.--Wehwalt (talk) 15:51, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

@Wehwalt: The source says At 15 feet above the water, it's considered one of the easier jumps at the Powder Hole, a set of three swimming holes fed by Wapwallopen Creek. and the article says There area [sic] also three swimming holes known collectively as the Powder Hole on the creek. --Jakob (talk) 16:06, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
