This program is designed for athletes that have developed the rowing skills necessary to begin training and for participating in competition. Rowing experience is required to join junior/senior rowing. We recommend participating in our Youth Rowing program to gain rowing experience.
Athletes will begin the session in a variety of boat sizes with different crew members. As athletes progress through the season, opportunities to compete in different boats will depend on the competency and dedication of the athlete(s).
Please watch the safety video provided by Rowing Canada for more information before continuing with your registration. Athlete’s who do not watch this video in it’s entirety are not permitted to be on the water.
