With summer now in full swing and temperatures rising, many are looking for any way to cool off. For some that means jumping in their pool and swimming for a few hours. However, those without a pool in their backyard are forced to find other ways to deal with the heat. Luckily, a new pool sharing app is now available in Texas, allowing people to rent private pools in their area.
Swimmy, a European pool sharing app, was already available in Houston, and recently became available in Dallas and Austin as well. The app, available for download on Apple and Android, allows people to rent pool space for $25-$35 per person. All that is needed is a ZIP code to see which private pools are available in the area, according to Dallas Culture Map.
“I have two kids and in just a few clicks we are grabbing our towels and splashing around in a private pool, it’s a perfect playdate,” said Swimmy spokesperson Isobella Harkrider. For those with a pool, they can even make some money allowing others to rent their pool during the summer. With this new app, the summer heat just became a bit more bearable.
