Sharing your poolside paradise

[Poolnerdgrandma]

This morning's paper had an article about a pool-sharing website, where you can rent out your pool by the hour. Prices around here range from $40-$75 per hour. For those who are getting hit hard by the rising costs of pool chemicals (and everything else) and who feel like sharing their little piece of paradise in these crazy heat waves, this could be interesting.
Has anyone else heard of this/has anyone tried it?

Recent thread on Swimply. Almost no one here would think of joining swimply and allowing others into their pool.

Our local ordinances clearly state that pools "for hire" are not allowed. The city doesn't want the competitition.

Swimply possibly changing bathroom/reservation length policy

Not sure if this is the right forum but for anyone out there that hosts a pool on swimply I came across a screen in the newest app update that bothered me. If you host and don't have a bathroom, they want to limit maximum reservation time to 1 hour!!! Unless you rent a port-a-potty. I emailed...

Rent your pool for $100/hr ?

I dunno .... maybe we’ll need a new sub-forum for “how to sanitize my rented pool...” https://apple.news/ApKP9hh0nSvGSFqJ2-b1Fwg

Pool Fools

On occasion, there is discussion about how those of us "in the know" about TFP don't like going to/using pools that we don't manage. Well...how about this one? Recently, I noticed a post on Reddit where someone was asking about public pools that are available in the local area. One of the...
