On June 2, 2020, Elmslie attributed her retirement from competitive swimming, to her own self-reflection after she did not qualify for the 2018 Commonwealth Games, and self-realisation at the finals of the 2019 Australian Swimming Championships in Adelaide, that she was keen on moving on from competitive swimming. Elmslie is currently mentoring young, aspiring athletes, promoting self-evaluation and sharing thought processes of elite athletes, through swimming programs, one-on-one coaching and technique efficiency coaching, conducted by her own business – Golden Perspective.
