We excel at helping our swimmers achieve their goals in the water and learning a skill for life.


Our Adult Learn to Swim Program is one of the most successful in Brisbane. We take pride in teaching those from being fearful in the water to now swimming in our adult squad. 


When you start an adult learn to swim program with Element Swimming you are assigned a coach for the entirety of your program.


Our program structure gives each swimmer the best chance to achieve their goal and in a timely period, plus free supervised practice sessions at our pool to aid in developing new skills.

Your questions answered

  • How many minutes are the private lessons?

    Each adult lesson is 45 mins in duration.

  • I have a fear of water, is this the right lesson for me?

    Yes, we have taught many adults who have a fear of water. We personalise the lesson to your ability so we will start slowly and work towards your swimming goals.

  • I can swim a little but need some advice on my technique, can you help?

    Great, let's see where you are at with your swimming ability in your first lesson. Our coaches will identify where you need assistance and help you improve on those areas. You can also discuss how many lessons you may need to swim confidently.

  • How many lessons will I need to be able to swim?

    It really depends on you. After each lesson, we strongly advise you to use the free pool time to practice what you have learnt so you can progress quickly. Most people need 6 or 10 weeks of weekly lessons to see some significant improvements.

  • I am a shift worker, what options are there for me?

    We can design your 6 or 10 week course around your rostered dates. We will try to keep you with the same coach too. Just email us with your availability.

  • Can I cancel or reschedule my lesson?

    Yes! You're welcome to cancel or reschedule your lesson up to 5 hours before your scheduled lesson time without penalty.


    Please get in touch via phone or email.
