L.A. Market Manager (including SoCal & San Diego)

What We Don n Swimply is an online marketplace that allows owners of underutilized swimming pools to monetize their pools’ downtime by sharing them locally by the hour.

Think Airbnb, but for swimming pools.n n How We Startedn n 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.n n Our Missionn n 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).n nWe 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.n nWe 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.n n Where We Are Nown n Swimply experienced incredible rapid growth (4,000% YoY), largely driven by customer love, word-of-mouth and robust media coverage.

In just the last six months, over 3,000 pools have been listed in the US, over 45,000 transactions have been completed (up from 1,000 transactions in 2019), and over 200,000 swimmers have enjoyed a stranger’s pool.n n The Rolen n At Swimply, we think of our hosts as our #1 priority as they are the core of our community.
