Summer is here in Southern California. The inland empire area is not as close to the ocean as other parts of SoCal and it can often get warmer here too. If you're like me and you don't have a pool of your own but you'd like the privacy and amenities that come with having your own pool during these warmer months, why not check out Swimply where you can rent a pool right in your own neighborhood?

Have you heard of it? Swimply is an app that connects pool owners in our area with people, like me, who are looking to swim with their families in local, private pools they can rent by the hour.
Search for pools in your area on the Swimply app and book the pool that works best for you based on location, cost, amenities, and your number of guests. Talk about the perfect staycation!

The start of our summer started off busier than ever with sports camps, basketball games, dance recitals, soccer tournaments and more. Fridays wound up being the days of the week we had free and relaxing pool side sounded an amazing way to spend the day and my kids always love swimming. I used the Swimply app to find a pool located close to us for the afternoon. There were quite a few options in the Temecula, Murrieta and French Valley area. I chose a pool in Wildomar that was only 12 minutes from my home, was very private, had lots of comfortable seating options, bathroom access and a hot tub.

Booking on the Swimply app couldn't be easier! Within minutes I was able to pick a pool for the day and time I wanted as well as know if there was a bathroom or other amenities I wanted. Some pools even have play equipment, basketball courts or private club rooms. I loved how easy it was!
My pool reservation was simple. I searched by my zip code and had over 72 pools to choose from. My booking was confirmed via email and I was provided detailed information about the pool, as well as contact information for the host. I was able to message my host directly with any questions. I found detailed instructions, the address, and parking info in the app.

My family had such a find time at the pool. My children and I had been so busy with sport and school, it was so nice to have some time to enjoy a picnic lunch, play games in the pool, relax in the hot tub and my girls and I enjoyed some reading while we soaked up some sun.
The pool even came with toys to keep my older children entertained, floats for my little one try, and even had some extra towels, goggles and swim clothes if we happened to forget something.
We loved having the whole pool to ourselves without worrying about sharing seating space with others at the public pool. We also were able to play with swim toys without worrying about other children wanting to use them too. There also was a hot tub which most public pools don't have in our area.
I’m always on the hunt for high-quality family time, and Swimply was perfect for a unique and affordable summer afternoon. We look forward to booking these special times as often as we can this summer. Swimply pools allow us to take full advantage of the beautiful area we live in and it's an easy way to create an easy and fun excursion with your kids without having to fight the traffic to get to and from the beach.

Still have questions? So did I. But the reservation process was awesome and so easy. You can message the host for questions through the app if needed. You can cancel, extend, or change your reservation right in the app.
Need bathroom access? Each pool is different, but ours had an available restroom in the club room. Other pools allow you to use the guest bathroom inside the home. If there is no restroom available it will be clearly stated on your reservation. You can even filter your search to find pools with bathroom access.
Weather concerns? Our pool was fully refundable up to 24-hours before our reservation. I could check the forecast and plan for our pool day with confidence. Had the weather looked bad, I would definitely have rebooked for a day with lots of sun.
Hungry? If you’re like my family, all the time. We brought a picnic lunch to our pool, but you can find pools that also have a grill you can use. Think of how much money you could save grilling at a Swimply pool, rather than ordering takeout or grabbing fast food.

I was so pleased with my Swimply pool and I will definitely do it again this summer. I plan to schedule some family days when family comes to visit and maybe even find some days to coordinate with friends. No more worrying about where to hang out this summer. I’ll be enjoying the full benefits of having a private pool, without the responsibility of pool ownership.

And if you are a pool owner? I would seriously consider listing your pool and creating an extra income stream for yourself.
Happy Summer and Happy Swimming!
