An Airbnb-type app that allows people to rent their pools, instead of their rooms, has officially launched in Australia.
22-year-old American entrepreneur Bunim Laskin designed Swimply to connect owners of private pools with people looking for a place to swim, and says the idea came to him “out of necessity” on a hot day.
“Australians love the outdoors and with the country’s long summers we are excited to be able to democratise the pool experience so every Australian can enjoy affordable access to this summertime luxury,” said Mr Laskin.
The app is currently available in NSW, Queensland and Victoria.a
