People open Swim to explore and engage with life around them. Swim is a fun platform where you create and access communities around places. You see what’s going on around you by simply opening the app. You engage with groups (we call them Pools) of people who do fun, interesting things together in the real world. You create your own communities at the places you love and give access to the people you like. Use the Around Me mode to discover what’s going on around you in the real world, and engage with others at your own pace through Public Pools in places as diverse as streets, cafes, clubs, and university campuses. There are also Pools designated as By Invite, which you can see and ask for access. These Pools are usually created by people engaged in neighborhood sports leagues, book clubs, or hiking groups. Create your own Private Pools to hang out with your friends, chat, share media, or plan your weekend with no algorithm deciding what you see and when you see it. You can create a Pool in less than a minute, geo-tag it and designated it as Public (for everybody to see and access), By Invite (visible but accessible only to members) or Private (invisible to all except the people you invite). Designate Spaces in your Pool (like channels) so that you and your friends can have different conversations, neatly organized, rather than one infinite thread where everything is chaotic. You can share media and open conversations around it by tagging comments, so that your chats and your media are easy to follow and find. Use your Pools as the new visual and organized way to chat and stay in touch with people you care about, and the places you love. Swim is designed with no 'likes' to promote more meaningful interactions. People become your 'Friends' in Swim when you follow them and they follow you back, reciprocity just like in real life.

About

RendezPoint

Features
Read full description

RendezPoint was created based on the deep conviction that if meeting in person was as cheap and easy as meeting online, we would choose to see many of our friends, family members, and important business colleagues more often. The app’s delightful user interface allows you to efficiently and discreetly share travel plans, see which friends will be traveling when and where, and makes it easy to discover and create opportunities to cross paths with the people you most want to see – no matter where in the world your travels take you. Use RendezPoint to: - Create travel events and select the people with whom you want to share your plans. - Curate your “starred contacts” list for one-click sharing of travel plans with the people you always want to keep in the loop. - Respond to the travel events that others have shared with you. - See who has responded to your travel events, and whether they are available to meet. - View the travel events others have shared with you on an interactive world map that displays who is going to be where and when. - Scroll through an organized list of all the travel events others have shared with you. - Search, sort, and filter the travel events others have shared. - Create and share travel plans even when your plans are flexible (e.g., if you’re trying to coordinate a reunion, get-together, or business meeting). - Find opportunities to schedule your own travel based on who else might be traveling to the same destination as you. - Stay and feel connected to the people you care about most, no matter how far away they might be right now.
