Frequently Asked Questions
Who will be coming to my pool?
Swimmers are more often than not local families looking for a quiet place to swim.
Private pools also make ideal locations for neurodiverse children and families to come and enjoy a swim.
Do I need insurance?
Yes, you will need to have insurance in place to be able to hire out your pool through Swimple.
Pool Operators Liability Insurance is what you will need, which is a form of Public Liability.
​
What if a swimmer doesn't show up?
If a swimmer doesn't show up then they will still be charged and you will still be paid.
If a dispute is raised after the missed booking by a swimmer then Swimple will have final decision on whether a refund and cancelation should be awarded.
What happens if a swimmer makes a mess?
If a swimmer leaves your pool area in a mess then please contact the Swimple team.
You can also leave them a bad review.
If there is any major damage then you should contact your insurance provider.
Do I need to provide towels/toys etc?
There is no obligation to offer any towels or toys. In the current climate with Covid 19 we recommend not offering towels and toys and simply providing the pool space.

It's up to you, but in general, no, you don't need to be there.
You can message swimmers directly with any specific entry requirements they may need, and any additional information so you don't need to be there.

Payment is taken before the booking and is released to hosts once the booking has been marked complete by the swimmer, or after 7 days (whichever is sooner.)
