OTTAWA ROWING CLUB
 

Learn to Row 2009

The Ottawa Rowing Club's learn to row program comprises five consecutive sessions on the water, two hours in the evening starting at 6:00 pm, spread over two weeks - Monday-Wednesday-Friday-Monday-Wednesday.

You don't need any previous experience to take the ORC's learn-to-row course. It starts with learning safety on the water, details about your boat and oars and instruction on technique on our rowing machines in the club house and dockside rowing simulator. You are on the water in your second class in an eight, learning how to balance a boat and then how to move it through the water as a crew.

By the end of the five sessions, many are hooked on the sport and go on to become recreational or even competitive members of the club.

It is also a great way for parents of high school or competitive rowers to learn enough about the sport so they can talk to their children about it!

Registration is done through the club registration form and learn to row sessions normally start in the first week of May. Every effort will be made to give you your first choice for a session but sessions are conducted in groups of eight and they do fill up quickly once the season is under way.

Information and registration is available by calling the club office (613.241.1120) or by e-mailing the Club Registrar.
