Swimply 2025 Host Awards

What are the Swimply 2025 Host Awards?

The Swimply 2025 Host Awards celebrate the pools and hosts across America that helped define 2025 on Swimply. From hidden gems to show-stopping backyard designs, these awards recognize listings that delivered incredible hosting, unforgettable experiences, and standout spaces.

Some award-winning pools were guest favorites all year long, while others earned recognition by redefining what a backyard can be. Together, they represent a curated selection of the very best of Swimply.

Awards are market-based and only given to listings that meet specific performance thresholds. Not every market will have every award.

What awards are included?

The 2025 awards include:

• Swimply’s Choice Award, selected by Swimply based on a mix of guest feedback, booking performance, listing quality, and overall hosting excellence. Depending on the market, there may be multiple winners or just one.
• Family Choice Award, recognizing the pool that hosted the most family bookings in its market.
• Pet Choice Award, recognizing the pool that hosted the most pet-friendly bookings in its market.
• Ultimate Host Award, recognizing the pool that hosted the highest total number of guests in its market.

How were the awards chosen?

Awards were determined using a combination of real booking data and feedback from thousands of guests throughout 2025. Factors such as guest reviews, post-visit feedback, guest surveys highlighting favorite listings, booking activity, and overall hosting consistency all played a role. Listings that met specific performance thresholds were then highlighted to represent the pools and hosts that best defined the Swimply experience in their market.

Where will awards be shown?

Award badges will be displayed directly on your pool listing as well as appearing in search results. Guests can see your award when browsing pools in search and when viewing your listing page, helping your pool stand out and build trust with potential bookers.

Host FAQs
