Swimply Review

What is Swimply?

Founded by BunimLaskin, 22, Swimply is the first online pool sharing market. Similar to Airbnb’s business model, the website and app connect private pool owners with aquatic-seeking renters. Interested renters can view available pools, reviews, and book directly through Swimply.com.

“It can be expensive owning a pool, enjoying one doesn’t have to be,” said BunimLaskin, founder and CEO of Swimply. “We are looking to democratize the pool experience so everyone can enjoy an instant escape from reality, even if it’s just to another backyard down the street.”

How does Swimply work?

Swimply operates similarly to Airbnb by allowing area residents or visitors to reserve time in a pool owned by another person for an hourly rate.

Each pool is given a thorough inspection to ensure that it and the property comply with local health and safety standards.

Once approved, pool owners list their pools on-site, with pictures, details, pricing, and house rules. Swimmers can see all the details plus previous reviews and submit a request for the date and times they want to use the pool.

Conclusion

Like Airbnb, Swimply.com allows owners to rent out their own swimming pools and gives people the opportunity to go for a dip for an hourly fee.

Swimply is still settling the liability insurance case. Currently, both hosts and swimmers sign waivers to simply relieve the hosts of any liability in the event of an injury.

So far, so good, there have been none. Swimply.com wants to provide a comprehensive, blanket policy and is now collecting data to provide to the insurance company.
