About Tom Beeley Tom was born in Texas before moving to Norway at the age of two and eventually settling in Scotland when he was nine. His parents encouraged him to finish his swimming lessons after the move, and before long he found himself progressing into competitive swimming. Growing up, Tom spent lots of time outdoors and developed a love of sailing, which sparked his fascination with the sea and inspired him to study a degree in the maritime sector! Today he also enjoys coaching young swimmers at the club where his journey began, helping inspire the next generation through swimming.
