We just had our first swimming lesson, and I’m so impressed! Fiona was great with the children, calm, patient, and full of encouragement. She took the time to really connect, especially with my child who needs a little extra effort and reassurance. I could see how comfortable and confident she made them feel right from the start

It would help if you had your bathing suit, swim goggles, swim cap, and towel to dry off. An ideal setup would mean you’d have your swimming pool for lessons, then hire someone to clean the pool afterwards. If you don’t have a swimming pool, your instructor can arrange to have the classes at a nearby facility like the local YMCA.
The average time it takes for adults to learn how to swim is 20 hours. This can vary slightly depending on how well you absorb the lessons and how well-coordinated you are in putting the sessions together to swim. Your sessions’ frequency and length can also impact how long it will take to complete your lessons. After a few sessions, your instructor can track your progress and give you an estimate of how much more time you need.

What do adult swimming lessons include?
Adult swimming lessons include all the tasks necessary for students to learn how to swim with proper form and confidence. The lessons can consist of getting you comfortable in the water and learning basic aquatic skills.
Your instructor can teach you the right way to breathe, float, kick and do arm strokes. They can teach you these skills one-by-one in shallow water, then guide you to combine them and develop your body coordination. They can then teach you basic swimming styles after you’ve mastered the essential skills.
Getting accustomed to being in the water
Your adult swimming instructor can help you get used to being in the water. They can get you to stand in the shallow end of the pool, teach you to blow bubbles and use other techniques to help you feel more comfortable staying in the water.
Learning to breathe
Your adult swimming instructor can teach you essential breathing skills like breathing underwater, the proper way to inhale and exhale, and how to hold your breath. They can give you these lessons in shallow water.
Learning to float
As with breathing, your instructor can teach you how to float in shallow water. This step can include extending your arms and legs as you float on your back while the instructor supports you with a flotation device. You may have to do this for several sessions until the instructor allows you to float unassisted. Your instructor can use this or other techniques to teach you how to swim with confidence.
Learning to kick
After learning how to float, your instructor can teach you how to kick and move through the water. They can teach you how to kick the right way, so you propel yourself through the water and don’t aimlessly splash about. They may provide you with a kickboard to develop this skill, then have you kick without its help.
Learning arm strokes
Once you’ve learned how to kick, you can learn how to use your arms to make proper strokes. Your instructor can teach you good form and do arm strokes starting from a standing position, then on the water’s surface, then with your face in the water. Your swimming instructor can use this or other proven techniques to teach you how to do arm strokes.
Combining lessons
After completing and mastering all the basics, your adult swimming instructor can ask you to put all of the lessons together and have you swim a short distance. They can observe your technique, then recommend which areas you must work to improve.
This process can continue until your instructor thinks you have succeeded in combining the lessons and can swim the proper way. Once you’re confident with your newly-learned swimming skills, your instructor can teach you other swimming strokes if you wish.

Swimming Coach — Private Learn-to-Swim Lessons for 2 Adults
$60
Toongabbie NSW 2146, Australia
28th Jul 2026
We're two adults looking for a patient, encouraging swimming coach to teach us together. We're beginners wanting to learn properly and build our confidence in the water, so someone experienced with nervous adult swimmers would be ideal. We'd prefer a female coach. We're based in Toongabbie and happy to travel to a local pool or aquatic centre for lessons — or if you're a mobile coach, we can discuss options. What we're after: - Private (just the two of us) learn-to-swim lessons for adults - Sessions around 45–60 minutes (open to your recommendation) - A calm, patient approach focused on water confidence and safety first - Building up to the basic strokes at a comfortable pace - Someone who genuinely cares and makes it a positive experience The budget listed is indicative for the purposes of this post — happy to talk through your ongoing charges and work out a rate or package that suits both of us. Please share a bit about your qualifications (e.g. AUSTSWIM), experience teaching adult beginners, which pool you use, and your availability.

I’m looking to improve my swimming. I learnt to swim as a child and know the basics (mainly breaststroke), but I’d like to upskill and properly learn freestyle/front crawl. I finish work in the CBD at 5pm, so I’m available most evenings after that. Ideally looking for someone experienced who can help with technique and teach me the basics.
Had my first lesson with Stanley as a beginner. I’ve learned so much in just 60min from breast strokes to freestyle/front crawl and diving into the water. Highly recommend!
