UMMMM this is AMAZING!  It's called Swimply!  I love to swim, but live in the city, so being able to "rent" a pool is a genius idea!

Swimply is the brainchild of 23-year-old entrepreneur Bunim Laskin, a website and app that matches swimmers with available swimming pools. Laskin conducted a pilot version in the summer of 2018 and pitched his idea for an “Airbnb for pools” on an episode of the television show “Shark Tank” that aired earlier this year. He didn’t get that funding, but regardless, his nascent pool-sharing enterprise is off to a swimmingly good start.
