2021 Learn to Row – Rowing PEI

We will start the safety training online, via Zoom.

Then we move to the Charlottetown Yacht Club and go on the water!

The on the water introduction for the 2021 Learn to Row will be:

Saturday June 5, 2021 12:30 – 2:30 p.m. or 2:30-4:30 p.m.

Group rows (select one) *dates TBC

LTR Group #1 – Tuesday June 8, 2021, Thursday June 10, 2021, Tuesday June 15, 2021

*10 a.m. – noon

At the end of your three on-the-water LTR sessions, you become a Level 1 (L1).

Then you do L2 Training. That’s four sessions in a double with a coach or L2 trainer. They will take you through a checklist of skills to take you to the L2 level. Once you are an L2, you will be able to navigate a boat on your own and move to a coastal single, or continue in a double or quad as part of the club or coached rows. If you need more than 4 rows, you can continue in the L2 training as needed.

The L2 Training is four sessions for $110.

After 4 sessions, you can become a full member for the rest of the session for $110. It’s called Convert to Full Membership.

We will explain how this works at the Introductory Session.

Full membership includes:

-convenient online sign-up for rows
-on-the-water coaching
-opportunity to attend regattas*
-social events at the Charlottetown Yacht Club – a chance to meet and mingle with other rowers*

*as allowed under Rowing Canada and Rowing PEI COVID-19 protocols

Rowing is a great outdoor sport with fantastic scenery. And it is considered one of the best workouts around!

“When we said full-body we weren’t kidding. There’s just no comparison to cardio exercise that only involves the lower body, such as biking, the elliptical machine, or running on a treadmill. This is a calorie-killing, efficient workout.”
