Description:

Learn to Row (LTR) is a great introduction to the sport! Lessons are held on 6 weekday evenings spaced over two weeks - Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Tuesday, Thursday Friday at 6:00pm.

You will join a class of approx. 10 participants. Instruction begins with parts of the stroke, parts of the boat, and water safety. Lessons start on rowing machines and dockside rowing. Then the majority of time is on the water with the coach along side the crew in a motorboat. You learn to balance the boat and how to move it through the water as a crew. 

We have special offers on recreational fees for those who want to join the Recreational program after completing their Learn to Row session. Athletes must have paid for a Learn to Row session and completed the session in order to qualify.

Participants must register with and pay a for a Rowing Canada and RowOntario membership fee annually. You will be prompted to do this when you begin the registration process for your ORC program.
