Temperatures are starting to soar and it’s officially swim season in Upstate New York. Did you know you can actually rent a pool for the day to use?

There’s an app/website called Swimply that allows people with private pools to rent them out by the hour to people who want that private pool experience without having to hassle with the maintenance of pool ownership. Basically, it’s the Airbnb of pools. Many of the hosts throw in extras like pool toys, Bluetooth speakers to enjoy music around the pool and use of amenities like grills, fire pits and private restrooms.

Swimply also lists tennis courts, pickleball courts, basketball courts, and anything else outdoors you may want to use or need during the summer. If you're wondering the costs, they are fairly affordable. It seems rentals can range in price from $25, to the most expensive one we've seen in the area to $65.
