Swimming pool drama in Wisconsin, I have a pool but wouldn't do it though

..because I don't need the money and definitely don't need the drama that comes with it..  :

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The operators of a startup that allows private homeowners to rent their swimming pools by the hour said Wednesday that Wisconsin regulators are all wet and want them to back off demands that they say would kill their business. Wisconsin is the first state to push back against Swimply, which started in 2018 with just four pools in New Jersey but has taken off during the pandemic as more people looked for private spaces to swim and have fun. The business works like an Airbnb for swimming pools. Private homeowners list their pools on the website and app as available for rent. Most of the pools on Swimply are in warm weather locations, but it recently dove into the Wisconsin market. It currently has only about a dozen pools available to rent statewide, starting at around $35 an hour, but it's looking to expand. Wisconsin regulators told Swimply in April that pools offered for rent would have to be treated the same as large, public swimming pools. That means a pool's owner would have to obtain a license and meet construction requirements that are more onerous. The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, which is representing Swimply, said it will file a lawsuit if the state doesn't back off. Wisconsin is the only state that has challenged Swimply or that the business has threatened to sue, said institute spokeswoman Erin Collins. “We hope Wisconsin regulators agree that existing regulations for large public pools don’t apply to our business model, nor are they necessary,” Swimply co-founder Asher Weinberger said in a statement.

Very innovative but yep, drama, health hazard. I read somewhere that feces in pool is a common thing.

I wouldn't doubt it. Besides that if they get hurt i.e., drowned, got drunk and fall, etc., you can be held liable too..Not worth the headache IMO.
