2025 is 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!

IF YOU’VE NEVER ROWED BEFORE, THE FIRST STEP BEFORE ANY OTHER PROGRAM IS OUR LEARN TO ROW PROGRAM - CHECK IT OUT!

AFTER OUR LEARN TO ROW PROGRAM:
Our KIDS JUNIOR SCULLERS program is for kids aged 8 - 13 years old, where they follow our 6 Levelled Junior Sculler Program full of great coaching and fun skill building games. This program builds on water safety awareness, rowing skills and full body fitness to allow kids to progress into either a competitive rowing program, or to build a healthy body and amazing active-for-life mentality.

From 14 years of age and up to 98 years, rowers can participate in either out FITNESS ROWING or our COMPETITIVE ROWING programs.

Our COMPETITIVE ROWING PROGRAMS are for those who wish to build a strong body and mind while they work towards racing with us, or with another club, either this year or in the future (someday!). Lots of racing options are available by joining the HATCHETS RACING TEAM.

Our FITNESS ROWING programs are all about building fitness while enjoying the solitude and beauty of the water. We provide technique tips to work on, a safety boat on the water, and as much or as little support as you’d like to enjoy your rowing sessions on the water. We row in a variety of singles (one person boats) from very stable to very tippy.

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 programs for ages 8-98, kids Junior Scullers programs, Fitness Rowing programs, Competitive Rowing sessions and Personal Coaching sessions to receive one-on-one coaching.

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.
