There's a website called Swimply that's basically Airbnb for pools. Hosts list their pools for an hourly rate, upload photos of their pool and lay out some ground rules for guests. Once you book your swim, your host will contact you with the final details regarding how to get onto the property and into the swim area.

Swimply's been around for three years, but this is actually the first time I've ever heard of this, and to be honest, it's not a bad idea. You get all the amenities of the pool without having to do all the work.

Right now, there are only a handful of places in Connecticut where you can rent a pool, and they are all listed here. So check them out, and know that relief from the heat is just a few mouse clicks away.
