This project, created by Raphaëlle de Monteynard at the edge of a swimming pool, it already has 200 pools available and 2,000 users in our country, they explain to Traveler.es from Swimmy. At the moment, these 200 little pieces of paradise are distributed between Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Córdoba, Valencia, Murcia, Málaga, Alicante, A Coruña, Vigo, Salamanca, Valladolid, Segovia, Toledo, Cádiz, Huelva, Granada, Almería, Jaén, Ciudad Real, Castellón de la Plana, Tarragona, Girona, Guadalajara, Mallorca, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Tenerife.
And it points out that, with the situation derived from the health crisis caused by Covid-19, more will be added. "We were already beginning to have several demands as of May 11, but the big boom came on May 25, when most provinces entered phase 2 and some were already in phase 3," they say.
They speak of a heyday of reservations and figures multiplied by eight. "The reason was that people wanted to see each other again and being able to enjoy a private pool with your loved ones is much safer than a public pool."
And it is that, as pointed out by Swimmy, "the problem does not lie in the water, since chlorinated water that has a rate of 1mg chlorine/L of water, is an excellent barrier against the virus: no bacteria or viruses can live in it.

In addition, they ask owners and users to be as careful as possible. In addition to the usual safety distance, use of a mask and hydrogel, the owners "They do thorough cleaning with bleach solutions. Some owners pass the karcher with alcohol or bleach, others also force users to shower before getting into the pool.
Swimmy's operating system is simple: the owner of a swimming pool enters the information related to it on the platform. Namely: description of the pool and notes on possible extras, as if it is heated, if it has a garden, if there are sun loungers, shower, spa, jacuzzi, tables and chairs, barbecue, tennis court, petanque or soccer field.
Information is also provided on the number of people who can go to the pool, the hours available for rental, if there is access to a bathroom, if children can go and if the person who owns the pool will be present during the duration of the rental.
For his part, the person interested in renting the pool must indicate the date she is looking for and the number of adults and children who would attend.
Registration on the website is free and the payment from the tenant to the owner is made through the platform. The prices are set by each owner, so they vary depending on each pool, but there are from 10 euros per person and half a day.
