FinS Swimming Class for Adults — Our Goal
At FinS Swim School, the ultimate objective of our Adult Swimming lessons is straightforward — enabling you to fully enjoy being in the water!
Studies show that currently, one in four Australian adults either cannot swim at all, or are very weak swimmers. So, if you can’t swim, don’t worry — you’re not alone!
Humans aren’t born with any natural in-water motion skills — meaning that swimming has to be learned.

Humans aren’t born with any natural in-water motion skills — meaning that swimming has to be learned.
Many non-swimming adults experience obstacles compared to learning as youngsters. While these are naturally highly personal, most commonly, they include:
- Fear.
- Originating from a country where swimming isn’t popular.
- Lack of access to natural water or pools.
- Previous unpleasant experience in the water.
- Having little interest in aquatic activities.
- No local swimming classes or tuition.
- Family with insufficient funds to pay for swimming courses.
However, just because you couldn’t or wouldn’t learn as a child doesn’t mean you can’t discover the pleasure of swimming now!
At FinS, our Swimming Program for Adults overcomes your fears, concerns, or worries — transforming you into a competent swimmer! Not only giving you a valuable life-preserving skill, but allowing you to enjoy the water — alone or with family and loved ones!
