About Us
Swimply was founded by Bunim Laskin in 2019.
As the eldest of 12 siblings and lacking resources for his family to escape the heat, Bunim thought of offering his neighbor financial assistance in exchange for some pool time.
Before long, others in the community cut similar deals with her and she was turning a handsome profit.
The rest is history.
Our Mission
Our mission is to extend the sharing economy beyond the functional to the experiential.
We will do this by building an authentic community-driven marketplace that democratizes access and enhances quality of life for the average family.
Our current focus is on swimming pools but we will incrementally expand the platform to include all kinds of underutilized spaces (so long as they’re awesome).
We believe that ownership can be smarter, better, and more meaningful.
Helping owners earn an income from their underutilized assets reduces the financial anxiety of ownership and simultaneously fosters community.
We envision a world in which anyone, anywhere, can access anything with the tap of a button -from their very own tennis court or swimming pool to home gyms and even music studios
– regardless of their economic status.
