It’s already Memorial Day Weekend 2024. Where has the time gone?

As the official start of summer rolls in, one activity is heading to be pool. It can be the one at your hotel or in your community or at one’s home!

Speaking of pools, I received a PR pitch involving Swimply, a rental space platform that launched in 2021. When it first came out, Swimply was described as an AirBnb for pools in that pools were its first offering. Now it includes others such as courts for tennis, pickleball or basketball and even homes.

For summer 2024, Swimply is offering a contest where the company is conducting a nationwide search for a Chief Pools Officer. If you enjoy swimming, social media and sunbathing on a Tuesday afternoon, this seasonal position is a high dive into your dream career: traveling to and reviewing pools in all 50 states, and getting paid $100,000 to do it.

Swimply’s first-ever Chief Pools Officer will test out pools across the U.S.

According to a media release, Swimply’s first-ever CPO will cannonball into as many Swimply pools as possible from July to September. The role includes a splashy compensation package worth up to $100,000, which includes a $50,000 base payment to cover efforts, travel expenses, floaties, and roadtrip snacks, and up to $50,000 in performance bonuses based on content engagement and the number of pools visited throughout the term.

Swimply’s Chief Pools Officer will have a tough job to do!

As sent in the PR pitch, job responsibilities include:

• Swim in all 50 states. From East Coast waterslide escapes to sprawling Californian luxury oases, enjoy and evaluate pools nationwide, all booked through Swimply.
• Document the experience. Produce engaging social media content, including Instagram Reels, TikToks, and YouTube vlogs, that showcase the journey of becoming the preeminent expert on the best pools across America, in real time.
• Share the Swimply love. As a Swimply evangelist, represent the company in media interviews and at events, spreading the word about the fun and convenience of booking through Swimply.
• Curate expert guides. Be swimmingly successful in promoting the best spots to cool down this summer through “Best of” lists and guides that highlight the most eclectic, quirky, and epic pools across the country.
• Host pool parties. While on the road, host pop-up pool parties in cities across the country.
• Have fun.  Most important is to enjoy the best of what Swimply has to offer, and share the fun and adventure with its community.

Submissions are open now through June 15, 2024. For more details on the role and how to apply, visit this weblink.
