Check out all the fun our Junior Scullers had last week learning racing starts and picking waterlilies!! And some fun pictures from our Mid-Week Long Adventure Rows!
This Week!
Starting THIS WEEK we will now have fitness rows at 7:30am as well as 6am and 8:30am!
This week's Focus of the Week is the RECOVERY!
The recovery is the part of the stroke between the release (last week's focus) and the catch!
During the recovery, the boat should run as far as possible so nothing should be interrupting the boat's glide. The body slowly decelerates as you go up the slide! The Early Recovery should be quick: hands tap down and away from the body fast! The Late Recovery should be slow and controlled.
Row to Graham’s Cottage!
As part of our series of mid-week afternoon rows, this Wednesday, July 22, we'll be rowing to Graham’s cottage on Lake Rosseau!
Do You Have a Friend Who Doesn’t Row But Would Like To?
We're extending our 50% OFF LEARN TO ROW program until the end of July since we've been so busy and we want to be out on the water enjoying the sunny weather!
AND get a FREE rowing session for both you and your friend when you bring them in to learn to row!
