Rent a Pool with Swimply
For approximately $50-$100 per hour, depending on the size and location, you may rent a local private pool and have it all to yourself. This is perfect for a birthday party or a fun summer splurge, and it’s especially nice for new swimmers who may feel overwhelmed in a crowded public pool.
