The Rowing Club works out at school on dryland rowing machines from February to March, and on the Grand River in the spring! This club is open to anyone comfortable on the water who wants to try something totally new. Competitive opportunities exist in the community for those wanting to race! Speak to Ms Currie or Ms Vorsteveld for information, and look out for a “Try Rowing” workshop this coming May!
When we meet
Look out for Indoor Rowing Club workouts in the mornings before school through the winter months. As well, we will run additional swim test programs in the spring, and a LEARN TO ROW program in the spring as well! For students interested in competing, there are also opportunities to race in regattas around Ontario! There is something for every level of interest in rowing.
