Swimply is a website that allows users to search for private pools in their city and rent them by the hour. The company aims to give non-pool owners affordable swimming access, while also helping homeowners earn an extra income.

Swimply allows people to rent private pools across the country
A visit to the Swimply website brings you directly to the booking page, where users can search and find pools to rent.
To book a visit, one must search for a location, verify the date and time they'd like to swim, confirm how many adults and children will be attending, and verify their reason for booking the session.
For example, Insider searched the website to see what pools are available for two adults around the New York/New Jersey area on Saturday between 4 and 8 p.m.
The website provided 54 results, many of which cost between $60 and $100 to rent per hour.
Some locations, which provided additional perks like hot tubs, barbecue grills, and outdoor televisions, cost upwards of $200.
The website provides details about each rental pool
When searching for a pool to rent, users can click on specific locations to find out more information.
At the top of each pool's profile, viewers can see multiple pictures of the space, the price to rent per hour, the dimensions of the pool, and some additional information.
Farther down on each pool's profile page, Swimply users can find the amenities offered at each location, as well as pool rules and cancellation policies.
On the booking page for a pool in New York, for example, Swimply states that visitors have access to a bathroom, sauna, and WiFi, among other amenities. The location also does not allow parties or loud music, and requires that guests who wish to cancel do so more than 24 hours in advance.
