What Is an "Ool"?

I used to work at the pool and tennis courts at the Algonquin in St. Andrews-by-the-Sea, New Brunswick. In the pool shack there were two telephones: one to call the pool and one for the tennis courts. The phones were labeled "tennis" and "ool". Guests would ask about the "ool" name all the time. Our reply: "Because there's no p(ee) in our pool".
