Rowing
Season: March - June
Coach: L. Couroux
Rowing is available for both boys and girls from grades 9 to 12.
The students start off the water with weight training as well as time spent on the ergometers and at the Flat Water Centre in the Tank. The students will compete in Erg-regattas, with others from across Ontario during March and April.
The second component of rowing is the on-the-water training that starts as soon as the ice melts in the canal (approximately March). Both Junior and Senior Level Rowers will train on the water with the coaching team from South Niagara Rowing Club. Regattas are held in May and June, including the Canadian Secondary School Rowing Association Regatta held at the Henley Course in St. Catharines.
Prior experience is not essential.
