Go further.

After Rec or bantam, Leander’s Competitive Club and Masters teams are also realistically in reach for those wishing a greater challenge and have both the ability and time to commit.

Safety.

Ability Requirements
All participants should be able to swim, waist belt Personal Floatation Devices (PFDs) must be worn by anyone not able to swim and will be available for others who desire them to wear them. They are low profile and do not interfere with the rowing stroke. Additional PFDs and safety equipment will be carried in the coaches launch for emergency situations. Some strength and fitness is an asset as rowing is a physical activity.
​
Weather Conditions
If there is poor weather the introductory rowers will participate in on-land training that may include the rowing machines, rowing tank, weights, and circuits. Sessions will run no matter the weather!

Private Lessons.

Private lessons provide a one on one or semi private setting for your individual learning, group adventure, or corporate team building. Sessions will be subject to time availability of coaches and equipment. Please contact us for prices and to arrange for your Private sessions!
