20.01.2022 U P D A T E We are hoping to run a term 3 swimming program at Coorparoo SS pool commencing in July. This pool is gas & solar heated. MRSS does not have adequate heating for us to run a program in term 3 unfortunately. We are just waiting on further information from CSS school as to when we can commence. All swimmers who were enrolled in term 1 2020 will receive more information in the next week or so.... We will be excited to return to the MRSS pool in term 4, October 2020! Hopefully see you all soon, The Team at Element Swimming

19.01.2022 Our annual 'Adult Squad' Club Champs kicked off last Saturday afternoon and unlike 2020 - it didn't disappoint. It was a day of rivals racing, great banter and some well-deserved awards. Thank you to all our fantastic adult squad members who attended & took part in the events. Norah took out all her female competitors to become the highest point scorer and the title of Swimmer of the Meet. She was a weapon in the water! Chelsea made a comeback to the squad after almost a year... hiatus in Victoria (good move that was!) to return after borders were open and her first stop before home, Club Champs 2020. Lachie's efforts in the open water events earlier in the year and his hard work and dedication to every swim session well & truly crowned him with the most impressive effort of the year. An amazing achievement! Reluctantly 2018 & 2019 Club Champ, Mark Sullivan conceded victory and handed over the shield to our new Club Champ for 2020 Lachlan McCarthy. He has earned the privilege to call himself "CC" for a year. Well done Lachie! Congratulations again to our award recipients: 2020 Adult Squad Champion (Club Champ): Lachlan McCarthy 2020 Swimmer of the Meet: Norah Elvidge 2020 Most Impressive Swim: Chelsea Carpenter 2020 Most Impressive Effort of the Year: Lachlan McCarthy For those who missed out this year - better start training for next year's Club Champs. See you there!

19.01.2022 \\ TEMPORARY CLOSURE FROM FRI 27th MARCH 5.15pm \\ With the government directives rapidly changing to deal with and confront the Coronavirus crisis, we would like to inform you of the temporary suspension of all lessons & squads (including adult squad) from 5.15pm Friday 27th March. This will hopefully give parents enough time to make alternative arrangements for swimmers who may be coming directly to the pool after school.... An email will also be sent to those swimmers currently enrolled with more information. We would like to thank everyone in our community for their support during this unsettling time and we look forward to welcoming our swimmers back to the pool as soon as it is deemed possible.

18.01.2022 New! Element Swimming App We understand that emails can build up and get missed so we have created this app to help parents keep up to date with what’s happening with swimming each term. We will still use emails where appropriate but may use the app push notifications as a reminder when meet entries close or payments are due for example. With the app you can easily view your child’s class schedule, receive push notifications if we are closed due to bad weather or if we have i...mportant information to share right away. Please download it for free here: Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details iTunes https://apps.apple.com/us/app/element-swimming/id1493432337

18.01.2022 * Thank You Hannah * One of our most loved & longest serving staff members has finally finished her last week of teaching and will be flying the Element Swimming nest. Since commencing with us in 2016, Hannah has become one of our most experienced (and often most requested) swimming instructors. Those who know Hannah will agree that she is possibly the most friendliest and loveliest person you will ever meet and this attitude has always transferred to her lessons and love of... teaching children. Recently Hannah has been juggling her nursing career while also committing to a couple of shifts per week with us, but we have always known this day would come. We can't thank Hannah enough for the time, patience and creative influence she has had on our swimming program and with our students. We wish her all the best with her future endeavours & it goes without saying that Hannah will be sorely missed by all. - Ben & Emily (We secretly hope she may join Norah as part of our "super-sub" team..)

18.01.2022 Some clarification regarding the 1.5m rule in relation to swim participants. The advice from the Government hotline is that we may continue normal operations at this time.

17.01.2022 We recently received some lovely feedback from a parent from Marshall Road School. It makes all the hard work worthwhile & we are so proud of all our teachers & coaches "I wanted to say a big thank you to coach Nick, he does such a great job with the kids. They have both come so far since training with Nick at Element, they just love squad and going to training. Please let him know how much I appreciate all the work he puts in to not just my kids but all the kids. Marshall Marlins has improved a 1000% since Element came on board." Thank you & we are proud to be a part of such a supportive community.

10.01.2022 Nationals here we come!!! Tahlia Hanson achieves her first ever national time. Tahlia had a spring in her step after joining Saxon in our first ever national team. It was a credit to all her hard work and dedication over the last 12 months, when she decided to take her training to the next level. ... Tahlia achieved the girls 14 years 400 IM national time by swimming 5.23.8. - half a second under the qualifying time. Congratulations to Tahlia and Saxon, their parents and support crew, their team mates and team of dedicated coaches - Jack, Nick and Alex. A fantastic team effort! Team Element achievement - The Element Swimming club has only been operating for a little over 2 and half years. Saxon and Tahlia were our first Gold Sqaud members and now just 2 years on our first National swimmers. It makes both myself and Emily very proud to see such amazing results from our program in such a short period of time. This is a credit to the whole Element Swimming team of staff (past and present), the amazing parent group around us, the schools, the local community and of course our dedicated swimmers who wear the Element name so proudly. Well done all, Ben

09.01.2022 On Tuesday 8th of October, Ben & I welcomed little miss "Mickee Jane Geard" into our family. Weighing in at a hefty 9lbs 5oz and 56cm in length, her measurements clearly compliment her swimming genes. Big brother Harvey is loving our newest addition and has been the most gentle & caring toddler we could ask for.... so far.... Thank you for all your lovely messages, we are doing well as a family of four. Ben, Emily, Harvey & Mickee x

He was inspirational for our young swimmers, sharing stories of ex Olympians he's coached and focus points to building a good foundation for our up and coming swimmers and coaches. Thanks Rohan for a great afternoon.

The health of our swimmers and their families remain our top priority. We will advise any further updates as soon as they come to hand.

04.01.2022 Relays meet!! We had 7 swimmers compete in the Brisbane Swimming Relay Champs. Aleila Boyett (10) was given a chance to race with the big girls and didn't disappoint. The girls all swam well gaining some points for the club finishing in the top 20 in the medley relay. What a great experience for Aleila and well done to all girls. Maddie joined the 2 Emily's and Tahlia to compete in the open events and all swam well.
