SeaSoul - Nairn

02/09/2026

🏊‍♀️ **Swimming isn't just a sport — it's a life skill.**

We live on an island surrounded by water. Lochs, rivers, beaches, canals and the sea are part of everyday life in Scotland, yet being comfortable and confident in water isn't something everyone gets the opportunity to learn.

That's why I really want to support what our neighbours at SwimWise Scotland are trying to achieve.

They're crowdfunding to create a dedicated swimming facility in Aviemore — somewhere children and adults can learn to swim, build water confidence, develop their skills and have access to swimming regardless of ability, background or income.

For me, swimming is one of those skills that should be as fundamental as learning to ride a bike. It can save a life, open up opportunities, improve health and fitness, and give people the confidence to enjoy the incredible amount of water on our doorstep.

And it's not just about teaching people to swim lengths in a pool. It's about giving people the skills and confidence to feel safer around water and to enjoy it throughout their lives.

If you can donate, brilliant. If you can't, simply sharing this could help it reach someone who can.

Let's help make sure that swimming really is for everyone. 💙

Creating a dedicated swimming facility where everyone can learn, participate and belong – regardless of ability, background or income.

🌊 MEN'S SEA SWIM | Nairn

Fancy getting in the sea?

Blue Space Highland with SeaSoul are putting on a men-only sea swimming session and there are still a few spaces available.

Whether you're already a regular sea swimmer or you've been thinking about giving it a go, this is a chance to get in the water, build confidence, pick up some useful open-water skills and have a swim with other guys.

We'll look at things like technique, breathing, getting comfortable in the sea and making your swimming more enjoyable — but this isn't a
race and you don't need to be a fast swimmer.

Just turn up, get in, swim, learn a few things and enjoy being out in the water.

No egos. No pressure. Just sea, swimming, skills and a bit of craic. 🌊

📅 Friday 11th September
⏰ 10am - 1pm
👥 Small friendly groups

🏊‍♂️ 6 SESSIONS - POOL TO SEA + 1.5KM DONE ✅ 🏊‍♂️

Huge congratulations to Ali Garrow on completing his final session today! He absolutely smashed a fantastic 1.5k in beautifully flat, calm conditions.

It has been absolutely brilliant to witness his progress. While there are always a few bits and pieces left to fine-tune, I think a few major "aha!" moments definitely clicked out there today! 🙌💡

Ali, you have been an absolute joy to work with and coach. Thank you for your hard work and great attitude!

(📸 Note: Sadly no in the water pictures as I was busy swimming and coaching )

Of course, no swim is complete without the obligatory post-match warm-up cuppa. ☕️
..But wait, it seems we had an unexpected guest appearance. Our legendary orange-hooded photo bomber! 🤣🍊

Huge thanks to Shelly Auger BA for popping by and taking on chief photographer for the day! 📸👇

Can't help feeling there's a hidden meaning here somewhere 🤣.

Only 1 space left! Men only.

SUP LADS! THIS IS A MEN’S SESSION LED BY MALE INSTRUCTOR If you think you can’t, you can! Stand-up paddle boarding is one of the most accessible ways to learn […]

Loving these tips 💙.

This is a tool I use with people as well. You really get to concentrate on the stroke using a centre snorkel.
