3 private pools to rent in Dallas starting at $45 an hour

Escape the summer heat by renting out a swimming spot through the pool-sharing site, Swimply.

How it works: The site is like Airbnb for pools. Swimming pool owners rent out their spaces for chunks of time.

• Swimply had just gotten off the ground at the start of the pandemic. This summer, the company is making a big push in Texas.

Details: Swimply doesn't require hosts to provide bathrooms — but says most of them do.

• The company offers liability and property damage protection, but recommends hosts "obtain appropriate insurance."
