Meet Swimply. Swimply is the Air BNB of swimming pools.
Swimply is the pool sharing marketplace that allows hosts to rent out their pools to users at an hourly rate. And now, it's in the Bay Area!
With Swimply, non-pool owners can have affordable access to the luxury of swimming pool while owners can make a passive income from their often underutilized pools.
The platform is currently available to pool owners and renters in the U.S., Canada and Australia with rental prices ranging from as low as $20/hr and up to $275/hr. Pools are also listed as being either “family friendly” or “party friendly”.
Here's how it works. You go to www.swimply.com and type in your zip code. Up comes a list of pools in the area that you can "rent." It also gives you an option to list your own pool!
Jack Kulp and Carolyn McArdle talked to Bunim Laskin who is the CEO of Swimply about it! Listen below...
