A New Service Lets You Rent Swimming Pools by the Hour

There’s a new service out there that you need to take note of, right now!

Most of us will never be lucky enough to own a pool in our lifetime. Sure, public pools and neighborhood pools are great, but there’s just something about being in a secluded backyard all by yourself or with your friends and family and not having to deal with anyone else.

Now you can live that dream (at least for a few hours here and there) with Swimply, a new service that allows property owners to rent out their pools by the hour to anyone looking for a nice, relaxing dip.

The rates vary depending on the owner (just like Airbnb), and you can search until the cows come home for the perfect spot for you and whoever you wouldn’t mind spending some time with poolside.

The company is based in New York and currently operates in 20 states in the U.S., including pool-friendly places like California, Texas, and Florida. There are all kinds of options, including places with hot tubs, saltwater pools, and even grills and backyard fire pits.

On their website, the folks at Swimply say, “We want mini-escapes to be as ordinary as visiting a cafe or a good nap. Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, it should only take a moment from the time you want to be somewhere happier until the time you actually are.”

Amen to that.

Not a bad way for pool owners to make some extra cash, and a great option for people who want to get away from it all and live the good life for an afternoon.

These Floating Wine Glasses Will Make Your Summer at the Pool a Whole Lot Better

Is there anything better than drinking wine at the pool on your day off?

Now you can do so without having to swim over to the edge to take a sip.

Introducing: floating wine glasses, the solution to all your “drunk at the pool” problems. You can buy them from a few retailers, including Amazon and Aldi.

The Aldi glasses are incredibly cheap. They’re just $2.49 per glass, which is good, because something that is designed to hold your pool wine will probably not remain pristine forever.

They come in three colors, turquoise, white, and clear. They are only available for a limited time, though, so you need to buy them ASAP!

Not near an Aldi? Try Amazon. There’s a set of two for $20.99, and they float in the pool but look just like regular wine glasses. They’re multipurpose!

Looking at the product photo, it seems like pool water will absolutely get into your wine glass if anybody rocks the boat too much, but whatevs.

Here’s another cool set of four that’s much more colorful. These are $44.99 for the full set, or you can buy them individually for $12.95 each.

As a bonus, the wine glasses with the stake can be anchored into the sand if you’re kickin’ it on the beach instead of at the pool.

If you are not the pool type, you can also use these floating wine glasses in the bath, or in a hot tub or jacuzzi.

Btw, you’re welcome! ?
