According to the press release:

This integration will enhance our ability to serve a broader spectrum of guests. Instead of only 16 aircraft serving the ultra-low-cost market, each aircraft, in our 180-strong fleet, will offer ultra-affordable travel options through to a premium inflight experience.”
Granted, the current version of their “premium inflight experience” is less ‘premium’ than it used to be in terms of the product offering … but the release seems to indicate that the Swoop fleet will be changed to match the WS mainline configuration, including 2x2 at the front, and presumably better legroom in the first few rows of Y.
