Beyond the Water Team
Sarah Wiseman
The Boss - Lead Tutor and Head Coach
Tutoring, teaching, and coaching are not only my passions, but defining aspects of my life. Even with over 15 years of professional experience, I continue to seek ways to expand my knowledge and skill set so I can provide the absolute best support to my swimmers and learners.
Whether you want to hone your existing swimming technique or learn a new stroke, I can provide the guidance and inspiration you need to succeed. I love what I do, and I am always maintaining my commitment to help others discover and reach their full potential whether that be in the swimming pool, the open water or learners paving their own ways to a dream career in teaching or coaching!

Hilary Quick
Lead IQA, Swim Coach (Open Water)
and Safeguarding Officer
Over the decades Hilary has competed in various sports including white-water kayaking, squash and orienteering, and she says little about the titles she has won.
Open Water Swimming is the one she discovered most recently (6 years ago) and undoubtedly the one she is physically least well suited to. Nevertheless, she swims skins in the chilly waters of Northern Scotland all year round and qualified as an Open Water Swimming Coach in 2020.
She loves coaching and mentoring people who want to grow and get better at whatever their passion is.

Morven Bridges
Swim Coach (Open Water)
“Like many people, Morven’s first experiences of swimming were splashing about at the beach on family holidays, but in order to learn to swim she was taken to the local pool where she ended up joining the club, getting a pool lifeguard qualification, and even getting her first job, as a pool attendant.
Despite always being “outdoorsy” she thought “proper” swimming was something that only took place in the pool… Until 2017, when she encountered a local open water swimming group and hasn’t looked back since! While Morven has a passion for introducing people to the joys of swimming without walls, she has a keen interest in performance coaching and programming for longer distance open water swims and events and is continuing to develop her coaching skills in this area to help swimmers achieve and surpass their goals.”
