The Old Swimming Hole

"The Old Swimming Hole" is the first episode of Where's Huddles? season one. It aired on July 1, 1970 on CBS. It was written by Harvey Bullock, Ray Allen and Iwao Takamoto, and produced and directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, the creators of the show and the co-founders of Hanna-Barbera Productions.

Ed wants to build a swimming pool with Bubba's help. However, it isn't going to be easy for the two because of Pertwee's interference. Later, they have an argument about the pool and come to an agreement on demising the pool.
