It All Started with a Toddler
Who Nearly Drowned

On a calm, sunny day at Eressos Beach on Lesvos Island in Greece, a four-year-old boy sat smiling on an inflatable boat. He was playing with his seven-year-old cousin.

Then — in a moment that changed everything — the boat flipped. Both boys fell into the sea.

The little boy remembers sitting quietly at the bottom. Everything was blurry. Peaceful. Some tiny fish swam past. He felt no panic. Just stillness.

A stranger saw what happened. He jumped in, saved the boys, and brought them to the beach. No one ever learned the stranger’s name.

Stories like this most times end in tragedy. But this one didn’t. It became something else.

The toddler never feared the water. Two years later, he learned to swim — and fell in love with the sea. In his twenties, he became a beach lifeguard. And in 2015, he founded Nereids Mobile Swim School.

Today, that early moment lives on in everything Nereids stands for — helping children and adults not just face their fears, but build confidence and, most importantly… learn skills that can keep them safe and may one day save a life.

That little boy grew up. Now he and his team are here to help you — or your child — to feel safe, confident, and at home in the water.

We offer private, one-on-one swimming lessons for all ages and skill levels. Most of our teachers stay with us for years, so your lessons feel steady and familiar.

No pool? All good. Some of our swim teachers have access to private pools you can use. Just book a call and we’ll help you find the best option.

Reviews
Hayley Woodrow

Our son was far behind his peers and afraid to even put his face in the water. Just 5 lessons later, he’s swimming confidently and going under with joy.

Reem Essam

As an adult with some fear of water — and not a native English speaker — I felt a big difference after just one lesson. By my 7th session, I could swim a full lap. My teacher was kind, patient, and made it fun.

Why Nereids?

Private Swimming Lessons You Can Trust

At Nereids, we do more than teach swimming — we build confidence, care deeply, and make each lesson personal. Our team comes to you, brings energy and heart to every session, and tailors each lesson to your goals. That’s what sets us apart.

Handpicked for Heart & Skill

At Nereids, qualifications are just the starting point. What truly matters to us is finding swim teachers who are passionate and genuinely care — not just about swimming, but about people. That’s what sets our team apart.

Progress You Can Feel

Every lesson with Nereids is built around one goal — progress you can feel. Whether you’re overcoming fear or improving technique, we focus on small wins that build real confidence over time.

Teachers Who Stay With You

Most swim schools have high teacher turnover — but not us. At Nereids, our teachers stay an average of 2.5 years. That means more trust, better progress, and fewer disruptions for you or your child.

We Come to You

We bring the lesson to your world — your home pool, your apartment complex pool, even your local ocean pool. No traffic. No rushing. Just private lessons made to fit your rhythm and save you time.

Trusted. Qualified. Fully Insured.

All Nereids swim teachers hold Australian swimming qualifications and a valid Working with Children Check. They’re also background-checked, insured, and fully employed by us — never contractors. That means you and your family are always protected.

Lessons That Fit Your Busy Life

Life can get hectic — we understand. That’s why with Nereids you can book lessons when it suits you best, even just 24 hours in advance. No stress. No rigid schedules. Just swimming that fits into your real life.
