Exclusive Benefits for Nereids Clients
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.

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.
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.
FAQ
When were you founded?
We have been teaching private swimming lessons since October 2015 across all Sydney suburbs.
Where are you located?
Our office is located in Sydney CBD, and we hire local swim teachers across all Sydney suburbs.
Are your teachers employed by your company or are they contractors?
Our teachers are employed by our company, meaning you are fully protected by our multimillion-dollar Public Liability and Professional indemnity insurance.
Do your teachers have qualifications?
Yes, all our teachers hold Australian swimming qualifications, CPR, First Aid, Working with Children Check and need to provide criminal record clearance.
How do I select my teacher?
Each student has unique strengths and weaknesses. Our years of experience allow us to match you, via our initial phone call, with a teacher who is the right fit for you based on skill set, location, and your preferred time slots.
What if my teacher is not a good fit?
You can change your teacher anytime you want!
Will I have the same teacher for my whole package?
99% yes! Our rigorous recruitment process is aimed at selecting the most dedicated and professional teachers in the industry. As a result, we have one of Australia's highest instructor retention rates, meaning that instructor changes are almost non-existent.
I don’t have a home pool. Is there any other option?
Yes! You could request access from a friend who has a pool, or you could hire a pool via Swimply.au. We could also conduct your lessons in an ocean rock pool (e.g. Northern Beaches) or netted beach area (e.g. Balmoral Baths). Some of our teachers have access to home pools and apartment pools, so that could be another option.
How does your cancellation policy work?
You are able to cancel your lessons free of charge as long as you do so more than 24 hours before the lesson is supposed to take place. Any cancellations that occur less than 24 hours in advance will be considered as a forfeit (even in poor weather conditions) and your credit will be deducted. Any cancellation that occurs on a third consecutive week of cancellations will also be considered a forfeit.
Do you offer group lessons?
Our 1-1 training method is the reason our students progress as fast as they do. While we do not offer group lessons, you can still enrol multiple students. For example, if you want to enrol two students, you can choose 60 minutes and then split the time between them in 1-1 and back-to-back lessons. With the one-on-one lessons, the students will get individual attention from our teacher and ensure continuous and fast progress.
Do your teachers have Working With Children Check?
Yes. All Nereids teachers must have the following qualifications:
- Australian Swimming Certificate
- Working With Children Check clearance
- CPR Australian
- First Aid Australian
- National Criminal Record clearance
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we have a multimillion-dollar Public Liability and Professional Indemnity swim school insurance.
How do you ensure your teachers’ quality?
We have established one of the most meticulous recruitment processes in Australia to ensure we find and develop the absolute best teachers in the industry who are very caring, patient, passionate, and committed.
In order to be employed by Nereids Aquatic Coaching, teachers must have the following qualifications:
- Australian Swimming Certificate
- Working With Children Check clearance
- CPR Australian
- First Aid Australian
- National Criminal Record clearance
Furthermore, our teachers are employed by our company (not contractors) which means you are protected by our insurance.
In order to ensure we keep the highest standards for our clients, our recruitment process is as follows:
- 3 interviews conducted by different people within out team
- the final interview is conducted face to face in our CBD office
- in water training by our highly experienced mentors to ensure each newly joined teacher (regardless of whether they have prior teaching experience) meets our company standards prior sending them to our clients.
We have had this recruitment process in place since we established our company back in 2015 and we keep improving it each season.
What duration do you recommend for 2 or more students?
If you want to maximise your progress, we recommend a minimum of 45 minutes per student, e.g., two students should go for 90 minutes.
Do I have to split the duration equally between the students?
You have the flexibility to split your lessons however you prefer! For example, two students sharing a 90-minute lesson could have anything from a 20:70 to a 45:45 split!
How many lessons per week do you recommend?
Consistency is very important in whatever we do. Having at least one lesson a week is important for progression. Having said that, the more lessons you do, the faster you learn! Some of our most committed students had up to 5 lessons per week!
Which package should I buy?
It completely depends on your personal goals which of course varies from person to person. We can discuss your goals and needs over the introductory call and suggest the right package for you.
How long does it take to learn?
Each client is different and depends also on additional factors such as fear of water, having a disability, etc. Although our team has achieved impressive results since 2015, we generally see the most success stories with the Progress and Advanced packages. However, important key factors for your success are having consistency with at least one lesson per week and practising between your lessons.
How long does my package last?
All packages have a 12-month expiry, except the Elite package of 50 +11 free lessons which expires in 18 months!
Can I have a trial lesson?
While we do not provide trial lessons, our Satisfaction Guarantee ensures your peace of mind. We offer you the flexibility to change instructors at any point if your initial one is not aligned with your expectations. Should the replacement not meet your standards either, we offer a refund for any unused lessons within 30 days of your purchase.
How does your flexible scheduling system work?
We adapt to your busy life and offer you the flexibility to schedule your lessons as you go, even 24 hours before each lesson. You can schedule either the same time slot multiple weeks in advance* or choose the more flexible approach, scheduling your lessons on different days and times, depending on your commitments. *Depending on the availability of your assigned instructor.
Founder’s Message
Despite a near-drowning experience at the age of four in the Greek sea, my love for the ocean and its activities only grew stronger.
When I founded Nereids Aquatic Coaching, it was with a vision deeply rooted in passion and care. More than just teaching swimming, my goal was to assemble the finest team possible, who will dedicate their heart to helping each client achieve their swimming goals.
Since 2015, we have been committed to bringing on board instructors who embody this ethos. They bring immense enthusiasm to every lesson, deeply care about fostering our clients' water safety, encourage staying physically active, and ensure their lessons are a fun experience. This passionate and caring spirit is the heartbeat of our team and distinguishes us.
Wishing you a pleasant aquatic experience with the Nereids team.
Warm regards,
Nikos VasilellisFounder
