OUR STORY  

Established in 2018, Beyond the Water is a small business based in Aviemore in the heart of the Scottish Highlands owned and operated by Sarah Wiseman. 

 

With just shy of two decades of unrivalled experience planning, developing and delivering training programmes for swimmers ranging in age from 3 years through to adults, from beginners through to competitive swimming, as well as professional qualifications and consultancy in the Cairngorm National Park, around Scotland’s mainland and islands and the rest of the UK and Channel Islands. 

 

At Beyond the Water, we love inspiring learning whether that is for personal or professional development. Delivering National Governing Body training courses through our Swimming Teachers Association (STA) Approved Training Centre (ATC) is a big part of what we do and we are proud to work with a select number of training partners and tutors throughout the UK to deliver various qualifications. With our open water swimming coaching and open water safety being our most popular! 

 

Beyond the Water offers bespoke consultancy packages, we work with you to build a comprehensive and relevant package of advice and guidance. 

 

Speyside Swimming Academy (part of Beyond the Water) offers a range of learn to swim (children) and learn to technique (adults) lessons, with our swimming academy gaining STAmark - the STA’s Swim Star School programme, the next level recognition and stamp of approval from the national governing body in swimming. Our Speyside Swimmers Swimming Club is the only group within the Badenoch area offering swimming fitness training for those over the age of 18.

 

Beyond the Water is NOT a big company offering hundreds of training courses each year. Instead, we specialise in providing a small number of open booking training courses with small learning ratios to provide more of a personal touch along with bespoke training dates available. We look forward to guiding your learning journey!
