Personalised swimming lessons, right at home
See Shell Swim School is run by me, Shelley Lawrence, an AUSTSWIM-accredited instructor who brings personalised, one-on-one swimming lessons for babies and children to your own backyard pool. With my calm, child-led approach, I help little swimmers build water safety, confidence, and skills at their own pace.
That's me!

Common Questions
Do you offer lessons for children with additional needs?
Yes – I specialise in trauma-informed, neuro-affirming lessons and adapts each session to meet your child’s specific needs. Whether it’s ADHD, autism, anxiety, sensory, or other neurodivergent needs.
Can we use a public pool for lessons?
No – lessons must be held in your own private pool (or another privately-owned pool you have permission to use). Our insurance only covers private pool settings, and public pools generally don’t allow external instructors to operate on-site.
What areas do you service?
We service Fremantle and surrounding suburbs within approximately a 10km radius. If you’re unsure whether your home is within our travel range, please contact us and we’ll be happy to confirm.
Do I need to be in the pool for the lesson?
For babies and toddlers under 3, it’s better to have a parent or guardian join in to support comfort and connection. For older children, you just need to be poolside during the lesson.
