'I make £85,000 a year renting out my swimming pool - it's our main income'

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

A man says he earns a whopping £85,000 a year by renting out the swimming pool at his home. Steve Crum, 65, was struggling with the expensive upkeep of his large Victorian family home, which came with a pool in the garden.

At first he looked into replacing it with an Airbnb, but when he was quoted with £20,000 for the work, he decided to advertise the pool for use on a local Facebook group.

Now, the pool outside his home in Warrington, Cheshire, is fully booked from 8am to 9pm all year round. Steve charges £25 for a private 90 minutes session for one person, and £56 for a group of eight.

He says the pool is a hit with people who don't like to swim in public. READ MORE: ‘My £148,000 Greater Manchester house is like a catfish...
