Swimply® Announces $10M in Funding and Expands Pool Sharing to 25 New Cities

Swimply just raised $10 million and expanded to 25 new markets, making private pool sharing easier than ever across more than 125 U.S. cities, plus Canada and Australia. If you want to swim in a gorgeous backyard pool but don't want the headache or cost of owning one, Swimply's the answer.

All you do is browse pools in your area, book a time, and show up ready for a little splashy fun. You get all the relaxation or party vibes you want, without any crowds.

This latest round of funding was led by Norwest Venture Partners. Trust Ventures joined in along with some really impressive angel investors. You'll find names like Manish Chandra from Poshmark, Rob Chesnut from Airbnb, Deborah Liu from Ancestry.com, and Michael Curtis from Zendesk.

• The new funds will help Swimply reach more neighborhoods.
• They're working on easier booking tools for you and more options for hosts.
• The platform's adding new protections so you can host with peace of mind.

Why Pool Sharing Changes Everything

Almost everyone loves to swim, but a massive 92% of Americans don't have a pool. And most pool owners will tell you they don't use their pool all that much. Until Swimply, there was no way to connect pool owners with pool users.

With Swimply, homeowners rent out private pools by the hour. Guests book any space that fits their mood. You can hop into pools in cities all across the US, Canada, and Australia, with more popping up every month.

Guests keep coming back for different reasons. Whether it's lap swimming before work, weekend family hangs, or just grabbing some time to yourself, Swimply makes it all happen. No need to visit a crowded public pool.

How Swimply’s Grown and Where It’s Going

That $10 million investment means faster updates for you. Swimply’s improving things for guests and hosts. Edward Yip from Norwest is also joining their board, which means even more momentum.

• Some pool owners made more than $30,000 last year.
• More neighborhoods will soon get access to affordable pool time.
• Booking and hosting will get smoother with every update.
• Extra coverage lets owners list their pools without stress.

The Swimply team wants to reach every community, add awesome features, and make sure every pool owner and guest feels protected. That’s part of why so many people are excited to jump on board.

Pools, Parties, and Premium Perks

Hosts set their own prices, when their pool's available, and what rules guests should know about. The average pool costs about $45 an hour, but it can go up or down depending on the spot or what extra features you're getting.

• Hosts keep between 70% and 85% of what guests pay.
• Pools with hot tubs, grills, giant speakers, and games are everywhere on the app.
• Some places let you bring a group as big as 100 people.
• Every booking includes up to $1 million in liability coverage and $10,000 in property protection.

The Swimply platform handles payments, communication, and safety checks. You'll spot trust badges like blue shields and plus symbols while searching. They also run background checks so everyone has a safe, relaxed experience.

And if you love a good deal, the Premium Pass ($19.99/month) cuts your booking fees and gives you priority help.

Bringing Communities Together

Swimply’s helped people make more than 4 million pool memories so far. Hosts use the money to keep up with pool maintenance or pay their mortgage. Guests get a private escape without ridiculous costs.

Besides regular swimming sessions, Swimply pools are getting rented for birthday parties, underwater drone tests, photo shoots, scuba classes, and, yes, even dog parties. Water just brings people together. It's a game-changer for friendships and neighborhoods.

Hosts who aren't using their pools enough get to see them loved and enjoyed. At the same time, covering maintenance costs feels a lot easier when guests are making memories (and paying to use) in your space. Pool sharing lifts everyone up and builds stronger neighborhoods.

Swimply’s serious about fairness and inclusion. You won’t find tolerance for discrimination here. Every host and guest agrees to show kindness and respect. That's key for keeping this positive community vibe strong.
