Rowing Programs

The Club strives to make opportunities for everyone to get out on the water accompanied by a coach/safety boat but not restrict them to certain rowing programs. The rowing schedule delivers a variety of scheduled rowing experiences, which are created in a flexible manner, and the membership can pick and choose which rows they want to attend.

Coached Rows are open to all members and all rowing abilities. The Coached Rows are dependent on tides and conditions. The Coached Row schedule is posted on the Club website.

Types of Coached Club Row

1. Fit for Life Rows
The focus of these rows is of a technical and fitness building nature. You will work on drills, blade work, stability, confidence and steady state rowing. All members are welcome to attend.

2. Speed Rows
The focus of these rows is to generate boat speed with the intent to race. Time trials, aerobic based workouts, pyramids. Approximately 10-14 km rows. These rows are typically scheduled early in the mornings.

3. Club Social Rows
From time to time the club will schedule Club Social Rows. These are fun club events intended for all members to get to know each other and mix and mingle. We invite members to row in crews with mixed rowing experience. Often the row ends with a social event or BBQ.

4. Skills and Drills
The focus of these rows expands on the fundamentals of the rowing stroke and boat handling skills for novices. These rows are also for more experienced members who wish to focus on rowing fundamentals.

The Club encourages Learn to Row graduates, who join the Club, to attend any Development, Social and Fit For Life rows. If a recent Learn to Row graduate is interested in attending Speed rows please talk to the Speed row coach.
