About Advantage Aquatics

Advantage Aquatics

Our Story

Founded in 2014, Advantage Aquatics was created with a clear vision: to provide a modern, inclusive, and family-centred swim school where every swimmer feels supported.


Our team combines decades of expertise in swimming instruction, child development and competitive coaching, united by a shared commitment to empower every swimmer, regardless of age, ability, or background, to build confidence, develop essential life-saving skills and discover a lifelong love of the water.

Our Facilities

With locations in Glenwood, The Ponds, and Kellyville and our new Rouse Hill centre coming soon, our facilities offer a calm, clean and comfortable environment for learning. Warm pools, well-maintained water systems, and convenient viewing areas help families feel confident that their children are safe and supported.

What Sets Us Apart

  • Individualised Progression – Every swimmer learns differently. Our instructors adapt lessons to each child’s pace.
  • Highly Qualified Instructors – Our team is AUSTSWIM-accredited and continually trained through Advantage Aquatics’ in-house development programs.
  • Inclusive Approach – We welcome swimmers of all ages and abilities, including children with additional needs, and we celebrate every milestone, no matter how small.
  • Safety First, Always – We uphold industry-leading child-safeguarding practices and maintain the highest water-safety standards.
  • Community Connection - As a locally owned and operated swim school, we value relationships. Many of our families have grown with us for years, celebrating milestones, birthdays, and first swims together.
  • Pathway to Performance – For swimmers who aspire to go further, our structured Squad Program offers a pathway into competitive swimming, guided by expert coaches who balance discipline

        with fun.

Our Mission

At Advantage Aquatics, our mission goes beyond teaching swimming — it’s about shaping confident, resilient, and capable individuals who thrive in and out of the water.  We aim to:

  • Empower every swimmer to feel safe, supported, and capable of achieving their goals, no matter their starting point.
  • Promote lifelong water safety through education, awareness, and consistent quality instruction.
  • Foster confidence and independence by encouraging self-belief, celebrating progress, and helping children learn to trust their own abilities.
  • Build a community of connection, where families feel welcome, teachers feel valued, and every achievement is recognised.
  • Champion inclusivity and accessibility, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed regardless of age, ability, or background.

Nicki Johnson

Owner

Nicki Johnson is the Owner and Founder of Advantage Aquatics. With over 25 years of experience teaching children to swim, Nicki is passionate about helping every child feel confident, safe, and happy in the water.


Nicki’s journey began over fifteen years ago when she started teaching swimming while completing her psychology degree. She quickly discovered how much she loved connecting with children, understanding their individual needs, and guiding them to achieve their goals. That personal approach inspired her to open Advantage Aquatics in 2014 — a place where every child is supported, encouraged, and celebrated.


Nicki is especially dedicated to helping children who experience fear or water trauma, and she personally trains our instructors to ensure each lesson is filled with patience, understanding, and fun. At Advantage Aquatics, we believe swimming is more than a sport, it’s a life-saving skill and a lifelong confidence builder.
