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 consists of six sessions (12 hours total), 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 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. |
Class schedule
Dates and times are subject to change due to the number of registrants received for a time slot. We will work hard to find a time that is suitable for you! In some situations we may combine adult and youth participants together. Please check the schedule regularly as times are added as the season progresses and spaces are filled.

1. Contact the secretary immediately to let us know when you would like to take your lesson and to confirm if there is still space before paying online.
2. Please fill out two forms, a registration AND waiver form, available for download below, and e-mail to secretary@inletrowingclub.com as soon as possible. Alternatively, you may also bring them to your first lesson - let us know so that we can inform the coach to collect them. Thank you!

4. 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 to receive your RCA number. Becoming a member of RCA is mandatory for rower insurance purposes. You will not be able to row unless you have completed this step!
* For youth registrants (under 19) the account should be made under the name and information of the participant, not the parent or guardian.
4. Confirmation of your session from the secretary and off you row!
