Learn-to-Row
|
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 typically consists of six 2-hour sessions (12 hours total), designed to introduce you 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 Adult and Youth programs. Prerequisites: Each participant is required to carry their portion of the rowing shell. After all, this is considered a team sport! This can involve lifting up to 40 pounds. Don’t worry, the coach helps too! We invite you to view our FAQ page for answers to our most common questions. Unfortunately, we do not offer refunds once the program has begun. We are a non-profit organization and incur time, effort and financial costs to run the club and its programs. Prices and schedules are subject to change. |

4. REQUIRED: Join the program of your choice on Rowing Canada (RCA):
https://membership.rowingcanada.org/JoinProgram?id=186. If you do not have an account already, you will need to create one by registering with RCA. Becoming a member of RCA is mandatory for rower insurance purposes. You will not be able to row unless you have completed this step! We will activate your account once you have registered to receive your RCA number.
* For youth registrants (under 19) the account should be made under the name and information of the participant, not the parent or guardian.
** Learn-To-Row programs will be listed once dates are set, please only register for the appropriate program, and contact the secretary if you are unsure which program to register for.
5. Confirmation of your session from the secretary and off you row!
