Notice of pricing adjustment - August 2026

Firstly, we would like to sincerely thank you for your continued support and for trusting us with your child's swimming journey. For over 50 years, we have remained committed to providing the highest standard of aquatic education in a safe, welcoming, and professional environment.

To continue delivering the quality our families have come to expect, we will be introducing a small adjustment to our lesson fees from August 2026.

Over recent years, we have worked hard to absorb significant increases in operating costs, including energy, insurance, wages, staff training, and the ongoing cost of providing flexible make-up classes. Despite these rising expenses, our focus has always been to keep our lessons affordable while continuing to invest in our facilities, technology, instructors, and student outcomes.

New Pricing from August 2026

• Direct Debit: $27.00 per lesson (previously $25.00)
• Pay at Reception / Invoice: $31.00 per lesson (previously $29.00)
• Casual Lesson: $33.00 per lesson (previously $31.00)

Quality Over Quantity

While we understand that pricing is important, we believe the true value of a swimming program is measured by the quality of instruction each child receives.

Our Learn to Swim program is deliberately limited to a maximum of just 4 students per instructor, allowing every swimmer to receive more individual attention, more feedback, and greater opportunity to develop their skills.

Many swim schools operate with 5 or 6 students in a 30-minute class, meaning considerably less individual instruction for each child. We have deliberately chosen not to increase our class sizes because we believe smaller classes produce better learning outcomes, stronger technique, increased confidence, and a safer, more enjoyable experience.

This commitment is supported by ongoing investment in:

• Highly trained instructors with continuous professional development.
• Over 50 years of proven teaching systems.
• State-of-the-art pool filtration and water hygiene technology.
• Exceptional cleanliness and facility presentation.
• Modern communication systems and customer service.
• Maximum class sizes of 4 students in Learn to Swim and 10 swimmers in our Squad programs.
  
  

Remaining Competitively Priced

Even after this increase, our fees remain competitively priced when compared with other local swim schools, particularly when considering our small class sizes.

For comparison:

• Future Swim (St Peters) charges $32.00 weekdays and $34.00 weekends, with a maximum of 4 students per class.
• Carlile Swim (Five Dock) charges $32.25 weekdays and $34.25 weekends, with 4 students per class.
• Jump Swim School charges $32.00 per lesson, with 4 students per class.
• BlueFit Aquatic Centres charge $26.50 per lesson, with 4 students per class.
• Austswim Grade (Mascot) charges $27.00 per lesson, with classes of 4–6 students.
• Annette Kellerman, Ashfield and Leichhardt Aquatic Centres charge $25.20 per lesson, with classes of 5–6 students.
  
  

While every program is different, we believe our combination of small class sizes, experienced instructors, premium facilities, exceptional customer service, and more than 50 years of proven results continues to represent outstanding value for families.

Thank you once again for your ongoing support and understanding. This adjustment allows us to continue investing in our staff, facilities, and teaching programs while maintaining the high standards that have defined our swim school for more than five decades.

We look forward to continuing to help your child develop confidence, water safety skills, and a lifelong love of swimming.
