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."
