Ashkon Pour-heidary, who has completed his Neuroscience degree from the University of Toronto, became a First Aid and CPR/AED instructor from when he was only 19. He decided to become a first aid instructor simply because he wanted to help promote life-saving skills and increase awareness in the community. As of his passion to impact the community, Ashkon Pour-Heidary took initiative and became an instructor in order to shape the new generation of first aid and CPR instructors.
Currently, he heads the operations for Coast2Coast First Aid, most notably by recruiting top-notch First Aid instructors in the GTA. Over the past few years, both Ashkon and Aryan have assembled a highly dedicated and talented team of managers, staff and instructors to ensure high quality of the programs offer by Coast2Coast. With multiple locations and experienced instructors, Coast2Coast First Aid and Aquatics offer the most complete and flexible line of First Aid and CPR programs in the form of public and corporate training.
Ashkon strongly believes that everyone, from children to adults, need to learn the life saving skills of CPR and first aid. He, along with his team of trusted and experienced instructors, constantly work hard to develop interactive and suitable teaching strategies to maximize the learning experience of the students.
He heavily emphasizes on the importance of hands-on training to Coast2Coast instructors and ensures classes have minimal lecture component. He believes that in case of an emergency, the muscle memory created during the training is absolutely critical to performing skills such as CPR. His main goal is to ensure everyone completing the training at Coast2Coast, leaves with confidence and skills necessary to act in case of an emergency situation.

We consider swimming an art & who doesn’t love art?
Aryan Sekhavati is the Co-Founder and Director of Coast2Coast First Aid & Aquatics Inc. Aryan has obtained his swimming credentials from Iran as well as the Life Saving Society and the Canadian Red Cross in Toronto. His enthusiasm for swimming began at an exceptionally young age which led him into being a member of the Iranian National Water Polo team. He has worked for many of the local swim schools in the GTA and multiple municipalities teaching and ultimately supervising other instructors.
Aryan’s aquatics knowledge and his drive to educate led to the creation of Coast2Coast Swim School. Coast2Coast Swim School offers a premier swimming program in the area, offering best in class instructions, state of the art training facilities, and providing the opportunity for individuals, including children, to become elite athletes in a safe and enjoyable environment. At Coast2Coast, he has developed a unique aquatics program which establishes a genuine relationship between the swimmer and the water, along with instructors trained to approach each student one-on-one.
