How to make over 700000 Kenya shillings per year from a swimming pool- the math

So how do you make KSh 700,000 and above per year from your pool? Here’s the math:

Charging swimming sessions:

No of target people per week= 50

Charges per session= KSh 300

Amount earned per week= 50×300 = 15,000 KSh

Amount earned per month= 15,000×4= 60,000 KSh

Amount earned per year= 60,000×12= 720,000 KSh

So we see from swimming sessions a lone charging KSh 300 only you can earn KSh 720,000 per year.

NB: during the hot seasons, school holidays and public holidays, you will have more clients. Also depending with your target clientele, you can charge more per session.

Offering swimming lessons:

No of target people per month= 5

Charges per person= KSh3000

Amount earned per month= 3,000×5= 15,000 KSh

Amount earned per year= 15,000×12= 180,000 KSh

Kindly note that during school holidays and the festive session, you will have many clients so you will significantly increase your income. You can also charge more if you target a higher income level class.

Total potential earnings per year:

720,000+180,000= 900,000 KSh

That’s shy of just KSh 100,000 to make it 1 million Kenya shillings which is realistic even charging the figures given here.

However it’s important to factor in the other expenses that you have to incur. These may include: swimming pool treatment chemicals, power bills, salaries, repair and maintenance etc. However even if half of the income goes to these expenses, for a facility that’s mostly consumes money without returns in most households, it’s not a bad return.
