Richele Frank, of Vancouver, had this to say about her recent experience with Sea Hiker's pool and open water coaching:
"It has been a remarkable year and I would not have been able to do any of it without your help! When I started your freestyle class in March 2009 (only 18 months ago), I could not swim 25 metres!
I managed a pretty decent swim at Ironman Canada in August, finishing 10th in my age group, in 1 hour and 10 minutes, which qualified me for the World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. Pretty crazy, huh?"
