In this episode, we sit down with Bunim Laskin, the founder and chairman of Swimply. Swimply is an innovative platform that allows homeowners to rent out their swimming pools, similar to Airbnb but for pools. Bunim shares the inspiring story of how Swimply was born out of a simple neighborhood agreement and evolved into a multi-million dollar business. They discuss the challenges and successes of building the company, the impact it has on local communities, and the potential for future expansion into other rental markets like boats and sports facilities.

The conversation also touches on how Swimply provides pool owners with a way to recoup their maintenance costs and even turn a profit, while offering non-pool owners affordable access to private pools. Bunim also talks about the company's efforts to collaborate with pool professionals and the exciting new features and expansions that Swimply is launching.
