Safety, insurance, and guest screening

We recommend:

• Posting clear pool rules for guests (no running, adult supervision for kids, no glass)
• Requiring lifeguards for larger groups or events
• Keeping basic safety gear (life rings, reaching poles) and a first-aid kit accessible

Hosting tips to attract bookings

• Great photos: Capture your pool at midday with clean water, tidy deck, and any extras like loungers or umbrellas.
• Highlight amenities: Heating, hot tub, pool toys, outdoor speakers, shaded seating, and BBQ areas increase appeal.
• Create package options: Offer add-ons like lifeguard service, towel rentals, or a brief setup/cleanup fee.
• Keep responsive: Fast replies and clear communication drive bookings and 5-star reviews.
