Swim With Me about the centre
Based in the coastal area of Étel, Swim With Me focuses on the fluid disciplines of mermaid swimming, freediving, and swimming instruction. Rather than a fixed dive centre, the school operates with a mobile approach, bringing professional instruction to various pools and beaches across Brittany, such as Carnac, Quiberon, and Erdeven, and even travelling throughout France.
The school is built around a philosophy of discovery and safety, catering to those looking to develop their aquatic skills in a supportive environment. Whether you are looking for structured swimming lessons, freediving training, or the specialised discipline of mermaid swimming, the programmes are designed to be adapted to your specific goals.

The school is led by Julie Niergot, a State-qualified sports educator specialising in swimming and freediving. As an SSI Mermaid Instructor and a former national-level competitive swimmer, she brings a high level of technical expertise to her teaching. Her background includes a Master 2 in Leisure, Environment, Sport, and Tourism, ensuring a professional approach to aquatic instruction.
Instruction is delivered with a focus on individualised progression and safety. The school offers a variety of formats, including group lessons, intensive workshops, and bespoke packages tailored for individuals, groups, or even corporate events. For those interested in the mermaid discipline, the instruction covers both pool-based techniques and open-water sessions.
