I don't really have a lot to do with this pool complex. Just occasionally taking our granddaughter for a lesson. It always seems well organised and fun for the kids.

My daughter started lessons at 4 months old, now at 14 months old she is confident in the water and has learned so many new skills! She absolutely loves going swimming at Elders. All the staff are amazing too, the swimming coaches make the lessons engaging and educational which is a massive plus!

The confidence they teach children to swim with. Out boys (5 and 9) snorkeled in the Great Barrier Reef this weekend in open oceans and were very brave!

My son has Miss Tahnee she has been amazing in the 12months we have been coming here. My son improves in leaps and bounds every week and has so much confidence with water since starting here. Miss Tahnee ensures she gains the babies confidence and trust amd she works so well with all the kids. We adore her and most of all Jensen adores her. 100% best swim school.

Today my little man (9 months old) had his first swimming lesson with dee the instructor. The class was very well instructed, she made the time to involve and encourage him in the lesson. She's extremely lovely and we can't wait to come back next week already! Since the day I emailed penny enquiring about a class, and went down to look in on a class I have felt very welcomed and comfortable We wished the classes went for an hour instead of 30 mins because we just couldn't get enough

To Penny, and all of the Elders Swim Centre staff, thank you for your wonderful swim school! Gracie has loved having Lyndall as her teacher for the past 2 years. Her confidence and water safety skills have improved so much during her time at your swim centre. I will definitely be recommending your swim centre to others. Keep up the wonderful work. We will miss visiting every Monday!
