Learn-to-Row
Check back in March 2018 for scheduling!
Our Learn-to-Row program is for anyone interested in getting involved in rowing for sport or recreation with no previous rowing experience.
The program consists of six sessions, designed to introduce people to the sport of rowing in a relaxing and fun way. New rowers are instructed in the basics of rowing technique and they learn to work together as a crew to balance and move boats of various sizes. Skills are developed to enable entry into our Masters and Junior (competitive) programs, or our Recreation program which focuses on succeeding in a new challenge and spending time on the water with new friends.
In line with our Vision and plans to develop and grow the Inlet Rowing Club, we’re offering three Learn-to-Row pathways.
* Please note that we do not offer refunds once the program has begun. We are a non-profit organization and incur time, effort and actual financial costs to run the club and its programs. Prices subject to change.

**After reviewing which pathway is right for you, please follow the 1-2-3 Registration process below to secure your space and register with Rowing Canada**

Learn-to-Row Pathway 1 - Introduction to Sweep Rowing - CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE
In this program you become part of a crew of eight and are introduced to the fundamentals of ‘sweep’ rowing, where everyone uses one oar. |

Booked, but did you register with Rowing Canada? See the 1-2-3 process below.

Learn-to-Row Pathway 2 - Introduction to Sculling
In this program, you may learn in a quad, double and/or single racing shell and are introduced to ‘sculling’, where everyone uses two oars. Classes are offered April-October. While rowers are encouraged, and a typical journey would be to participate in Learn-to-Row 1 and then Learn-to-Row 2, this is not essential. Those wanting to try sculling can do so as their first introduction to rowing! |

Learn-to-Row Pathway 3 - Juniors (Ages 13-18)
Rowing has many benefits and attributes to enable young people to pursue rowing scholarships/opportunities at University, train with the National Team, perform in the Olympics (Inlet Rowing Club is a supporter and athlete testing venue for RCA Row-to-Podium athlete search program) or simply follow a long-term athlete development program to support competition, recreational or fitness goals. |
