Swimply Makes a Splash with New Pet Swim Category

Swimply, the pioneering sharing platform connecting pool owners with those seeking private, local experiences, has announced its new, highly anticipated pet category responding to overwhelming customer demand. Following a remarkable 700 percent increase in pet-related inquiries in 2024, the new feature will enable pet owners to easily find private, pet-friendly spaces where their four-legged companions can swim, play and socialize in a safe environment.

As pet ownership continues to rise nationwide, Swimply’s expansion addresses a growing market need for premium pet experiences, with the company expecting to welcome more than 50,000 dogs to the platform this summer.

“Our users have spoken, and we’ve listened,” said Bunim Laskin, Founder and CEO of Swimply. “Pet owners want high-quality, private spaces where their dogs can enjoy water activities safely. Our new pet category extends the Swimply experience to the whole family—including those with four legs.”

The new pet category will feature custom pet profiles allowing owners to showcase their pets’ preferences and needs, specialized filters for pet-friendly spaces with amenities like shallow entry points and secure fencing, safety guidelines and pet etiquette resources and tailored booking options for pet training, socialization events and private playdates.

“Just as we transformed access to private pools for people, we’re now creating an entirely new way for pet owners to find exceptional experiences for their animals,” added Laskin.

The pet category will be available across all Swimply’s operating regions in the United States, Canada and Australia beginning June 10.
