He loves coaching others and helping them feel as inspired about the experience available in the water. Peter's passion is helping people feel confident in the aquatic wilderness at any skill level.

"I enjoy the water wherever I go, surfing in Tofino and Nova Scotia, swimming in open water, and spending most days in a pool or in the ocean. I like to share the same joy that being in the water brings me with other people." Jen coaches Open Water courses, Swim Pods and Swim Camps. |
| Tyler Zetterstrom, Sea Hiker Coach I grew up swimming competitively and had become burnt out and bored with endless laps. Nevertheless, I was drawn to the water and spent much of my time participating in adventure swimming, freediving, and surfing. Once I discovered that formal swimming strokes can also be approached with the same elements of comfort and grace that enjoyed in other aquatic activities, I was inspired to move forward as a coach. Learning to swim with ease, without the endless hours of grueling laps, was an exciting link for helping others find the confidence to explore the aquatic adventures that are possible and that I have been exploring in my ocean travels around the world. I really enjoy taking a detailed approach and encouraging others to have a curiosity for learning and possibility. For Tyler's full bio and areas of interest, please click here. Note: Tyler is on leave in Europe for 2011-2012.
