Common Questions
Can swim schools in Australia or New Zealand use Swum?
Not fully yet. A school there cannot connect a payout account in the app today, and a payout account is needed to take payments. If you run a swim school in Australia or New Zealand, contact us and we will tell you when that changes.
Does Swum work in Ireland?
Yes. An Irish swim school can connect an Irish payout account and price lessons in euros. Text messages are not available for Irish mobile numbers yet, so families get emails and app notifications.
Can one account charge in more than one currency?
No. Each Swum account uses one currency, which matches the country of its payout account.
Does Swum handle VAT, GST or sales tax?
No. Swum does not calculate tax on your lessons. The price you set is the price families pay, so check with your accountant how tax applies to you.
Is Swum available in other languages?
Not yet. Swum is in English, with American spelling and US-style dates.
