Rowing is back for the 2026 season.
Our initial interest meetings will be Friday September 11th and Monday September 13th.
Our start-up meeting will be Thursday September 17th.
Mandatory Swim tests will be at Crystal Pool on September 19th, arrive by 9:45 AM. Students cannot participate in rowing without completing the swim test.
Key Information
Students who are new to rowing must be in grade 7 or 8.
If you will miss more than half of practices it is not recommended you join as changing numbers alter the way coaches are prepared to run the program.
This is an introduction to rowing, there will be no official competitions.
Families are responsible for organizing rides and having students to the boathouse 10-15 minutes before practice begins so they can change and be ready for the day to begin. Late arrivals affect the division of boats, coaches, and time on the water.
