Question 4

Where is SeaStrength Health located?

Accepted Answer

SeaStrength Health is located on Vancouver Island, in beautiful British Columbia, Canada.

Nanaimo is home to some beautiful, beginner friendly ocean and lake waterfronts. Departure Bay, Neck Point and Westwood lake offer excellent learning options. Other locations in Nanaimo will be used as well, depending on weather.

I'm happy to discuss traveling to you in Ladysmith, Parksville and beyond.

Question 5

Is SeaStrength Health only open in the summer?

Accepted Answer

Vancouver Island’s rainy and dark Fall & Spring seasons leave many of us indoors, venturing out on rare sunny days that line up with work & life's demands. But if you’ve ever dressed for the weather and spent a day out hiking or paddling in the rain, you know that it can be just as great as a sunny day. When dressed properly, you’ll stay warm and dry, and get to witness the beauty of our surroundings come alive in the rain and wet weather in a totally different way. Consider joining a SeaStrength Health weekly group paddle, group class or try personal training to keep you healthy, moving and connected to the outdoors. Both private and group sessions are offered year-round. 
 
Please note that sea kayaking sessions will be wind & wave dependent; sessions  may be offered on lakes as needed in order to maintain consistent availability.
