Swimply® Makes a Splash with New Pet Swim Category

If you want your dog to have the ultimate swimming experience, Swimply’s new Pet Swim category is here for you. Private, safe pools are just a click away, so your furry friend can splash and play with total freedom.

Don’t worry about crowded pools or stressful environments. Swimply connects you to spaces with secure fencing, shallow entry points, and thoughtful hosts. It’s already a hit after a 700% leap in pet requests last year. Here’s what makes this new category a total game-changer.

Swimply lets you:

Set up custom pet profiles with details on breed, size, and needs
Filter for dog-friendly pools by location and price
Book by the hour for full flexibility

Hosts can now tailor their pools for furry guests, and experts expect more than 50,000 dogs to take the plunge this summer. There’s a reason pet pool rentals are so popular.

Why Pet-Friendly Pool Spaces Are on the Rise

Pet parents want better options than busy public pools. Swimming is perfect for dogs, it's great exercise and easy on their joints. But most public pools don’t allow pets, and pool that do get too overwhelming for anxious pups.

Private pool rentals shift the game completely. You get control over who’s there, ensuring your dog’s comfort and safety. With Swimply’s hourly private rentals, you pick a clean, well-kept pool that fits your schedule and budget.

Exclusivity, so no strangers or stressed-out pets
Pet-friendly amenities, like ramps and shallow areas
Easy online booking and clear pet policies

The Pet Swim category highlights the pools that go the extra mile for dogs. It’s easier than ever to find a match for your pup’s personality and energy level.

Inside Our Pet Swim Experience

The Pet Swim feature puts all the right tools in your hands. Browse listings near you, compare prices, and read detailed reviews by other pet owners.

If you have questions, message hosts directly. Each booking stays completely private for the time you select. No sharing, so your dog enjoys the entire space with zero stress.

Custom Pet Profiles

Create a separate profile for each pet. Note details like size, breed, quirks, and any special requirements. Hosts see this info right away, making sure their space is a great fit for your dog.

If your dog loves diving or prefers to wade, add it in. These profiles set expectations and make the experience smoother for you and your host. Everyone knows what’s needed up front.

Pet Pool Safety and Amenities

Safety’s number one. Look for pools with:

Shallow zones for pups who like easy access
Ramps or wide steps with non-slip materials
Secure, tall fencing

Always keep an eye on your dog as they swim, especially if they're new to swimming.

After swimming, rinse your pup to remove chlorine or salt. Dry their ears so water doesn’t linger and cause infections. Many Swimply pools organize extras like towels and shaded rest spots, just make sure to double-check what's included when booking.

Canine life vests help keep pool time safe, and make it easy to lift your dog out of the water
Floaties are for resting without having to leave the pool (non-inflatable floaties are best to prevent holes from teeth and claws)
