We wanted to let you know about an upcoming change to our lesson fees at Shawn's Swim School.

Why the change

Our last lesson fee increase was on 1 January 2025. Since then, we have worked hard to absorb increasing costs without passing these directly onto our families.

In 2025, the industry award increased by 3.5%, which we absorbed without increasing our lesson fees. This year, we faced a further 4.75% award increase, alongside continued increases in the everyday costs of running our swim schools.

We understand that a price increase is never welcome news, but after nearly two years at our current pricing, this adjustment is necessary to ensure we can continue investing in our team and maintaining the quality of our programs.

As always, our focus remains the same: small class sizes, quality teaching, an incredible team and providing the best possible swimming experience for every student who walks through our doors. Thank you for your continued support and for growing with us.
