For our Junior Scullers only - we are tracking high scores in the Fish Game on the Erg (rowing machine). When you come in for your Junior Scullers sessions, stick around for the 4min game and try to beat the high scores!
Our Pull-up challenge is coming soon. We’ll be installing the pull-up bar in the club this week and you’ll start to see the max consecutive pull-ups being recorded.
Save The Date: HATCHETS HAT-TRICK WEEKEND
August 12 & 13
Mark the date in your calendar and come join us for one, some, or ALL of the events on August 12th & 13th!
We will kick off the weekend with our annual Muskoka Poker Run, a 22km row/race, launching from Port Carling at 6 am! Then we will head over to Hatchets for our Indian River Relay at 10am - for EVERY SKILL LEVEL of rower. Our Indian River Relay is a short race open to everyone! We race to the first buoy and back to the dock to switch with the next person for the relay part of the race. It is a team-based event. Then we will finish off the weekend on Sunday morning with a long but relaxed pace Row to Windermere! A 20km day trip where we take out our bigger open water rowing shells. If you’re not sure whether it’s the right fit for you - talk to us about it when you come to row, or email Kathy kathy@hatchetsrowing.com.
This Week's Focus is SAFETY on the water!
This week's focus is safety!
Before heading out onto the water - don't forget your life jacket, safety kit, and whistle! Always be aware of other boaters, buoys, and the shoreline around you and if you flip, STAY WITH YOUR BOAT, it's visible and it floats!
