Swimply wants to expand the sharing economy into swimming pools.
The company provides a platform for users to rent other people's pools for an hourly rate.

The past decade has given rise to ride-sharing and apartment-sharing, but startup Swimply hopes pool-sharing will be the next big thing.

Founded in 2018, Swimply is an online platform that allows people to rent pools by the hour in other people's backyards.

Pools are available for rent in the US, Canada, and Australia and go for an average of $45-$75 per hour on the platform, according to Swimply. Pool owners get to set their own prices.

Much of the US is experiencing a heatwave, following the record-breaking temperatures in the UK and Europe earlier this month.
