Five pin bowing alleys were at one time located in these buildings also. Texhoma has had three swimming pools over the years. The first was located where the Jack Kleepers lived, and was an above ground concrete pool originally built for irrigation purposes, but was used for many years for public swimming. In 1924 A.J. Jones bult a pretty good public swimming pool just northeast of Texhoma about three miles. It was still in operation in the late 1930's.
Many people can remember walking out to the pool for a dip in the early days.
They had a slide, diving boards, and a continual stream of fresh cold well water running into the pool at all times. The Jones family remembers that this pool was completed and they were ready to fill it when there was a bad storm and lightning hit the pool and cracked it all over. Mr. Jones got some tar, patched the cracks and holes and filled the pool. On opening day people came from miles around to swim and they came out of the water looking like tar babies from the tar which had not dried. Mr. Jones furnished a barrel of kerosene to wash off the tar.
