Student,
It is not clear whether you mean the amplitude of the displacement or the maximum speed, where the latter is the amplitude of v(t). As worded, it appears you gave the speed of a the transverse oscillation as a function of time, since you used the symbol v. In this case, the coefficient of the sine is the maximum speed, which is
vmax = a = ωA,
where A is the amplitude of the displacement. Then
A = a/ω
