2025 will be our 17th season on the water for Hatchets Rowing Centre!

Rowing is a FULL Body, LOW Impact, SELF CENTERING sport that lets us enjoy the best water Muskoka has to offer. We teach people of all ages to row. We like to say: FROM 8 to 98! We start kids at 8 YEARS OLD, and we strongly feel that no age is too old to LEARN TO ROW!

We start our KIDS JUNIOR SCULLERS programs at 8 YEARS OLD, where they follow our 6 Levelled Junior Sculler Program full of great coaching and fun games. This program builds on water safety awareness, rowing skills and full body fitness to allow kids to progress into a competitive rowing program, or simply to build a healthy body and amazing active-for-life mentality.

For HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS and COMPETITIVE ROWERS we offer a competitive training program to build a strong body and mind as we train, compete in regattas and take part in fun open water rowing events.

Our ADULT FITNESS ROWING programs are coached rowing sessions to get you out enjoying the water and also getting fit. We provide technique tips to work on, a safety boat on the water, and as much support as you’d like to enjoy your rowing sessions on the water. We row mostly in singles, but have two (doubles) and four (quad) person boats so you can feel the speed and teamwork or rowing with others.

To see all of our ROWING programs, visit our PROGRAMS page for details, our RATES page for specific pricing and our SCHEDULE page to see programs on a calendar.

As well as being a beautiful, on-water, centering and fluid pastime, rowing is one of the top three full-body low impact workouts you can do, along with cross-country skiing and swimming. Perfect for ages 8 to 98.

We offer rowing programs for all ages and abilities including: Learn to Row, Adult Fitness Rowing sessions, kids Junior Scullers programs, High School and Adult Competitive Rowing times and Personal Coaching to have a dedicated coach for an hour.

We sell rowing shells, clothing and equipment in our store because we know it makes a difference and because we use it enough to know the difference.
