MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin regulators have backed down on demands that operators of a startup that allows private homeowners to rent their swimming pools by the hour said would kill their business. The regulators told Swimply in April that pools offered for rent would have to be treated the same as large, public swimming pools. “However, whether any particular pool would be subject to public pool licensing requirements would depend on the facts of the situation for each individual pool,” the agency said. The business works like an Airbnb for swimming pools, with private homeowners listing their pools on the website and app. Most of the pools on Swimply are in warm weather locations, but it recently entered the Wisconsin market.
