Frequently Asked Questions - Locations

Where and how to find instruction with Sea Hiker.

Yes, we would love to! Please send us an email with the details of your interest, whether you have a group of people who want instruction, what weekends are best, and the general skill level and goals of everyone who is interested. We prefer to offer multi-weekend programs that allow us to give you good follow-up and coaching to ensure that your practice stays on track.  We have offered courses as far away as Toronto.

In 2009, we held the Open Water Program at Jericho Beach. Locations have not been confirmed for the 2010 season, but we expect to offer that program again starting in May, weather permitting.

Visit our courses page for more information on the Open Water program.

Yes. While most of our private lessons are offered between May and September when the water is warmer, we are always game for cold water lessons, provided you have the gear needed to be safe and comfortable. Generally, cold water lessons will not be technique intensive, rather more practice or open water experience oriented.

Our insurance does indeed cover private locations. However, if you live in a condo or share a pool, you should generally seek the permission of whoever manages that facility before booking with us. And also bear in mind that other people will look to share the pool and busy times may make certain exercises and drills difficult to do.

Yes. Your lesson tuition covers the rental of a lane exclusively for your coach and yourself. We feel this is essential for focused attention on swimming. We also prefer these pools because they offer ozone filtration which is much less harsh on the skin than regular filtration systems.
