3 private pools to rent around NWA starting at $30 an hour

Escape the summer heat with these swimming spots, all listed on pool-sharing company Swimply.

How it works: It's like Airbnb for pools. Swimming pool owners rent out their spaces for chunks of time.

• The pandemic came with a silver lining for Swimply, which is now betting the market for opening up private homes for leisure activities extends beyond shutdowns.
