Introducing Our Team
Our coaches bring with them experience from various rowing clubs throughout Ontario. We track our rowers progress through our centralized coaching notes in order to ensure we are all up to date on your path and current goals; be they fitness, competition and/or pleasure. We provide you with as much space or coaching as you need to enjoy the serenity or improve your speed. Our passion is helping others with their passion, and only coaches who share this passion join our team.
All of our coaches can be booked for one-on-one personal coaching sessions, and they all help out with the various group sessions happening every morning during rowing season.

Kathy McCarthy
In, on and around the water since birth, Kathy started rowing in 1995 and coaching in 1999. Kathy practiced as an Engineer for just under 10 years while rowing and coaching in Peterborough, London and Barrie. She then decided to help others with their passions by following hers and started Hatchets Rowing Centre with Jeremy Fowler in the spring of 2009.
Jeremy Fowler
Water has long been one of Jeremy's passions. He has been on the water in any way possible since he was born, and started rowing in 1993 in St. Catharines. After rowing and coaching in St. Catharines, Thunder Bay, Barrie and Muskoka, he started Hatchets Rowing Centre with Kathy in the spring of 2009.
Lily Baker
Lily has been rowing and coaching with us since 2013. Lily is currently living and working in the GTA, but we are lucky enough that she returns to row and coach whenever she can throughout the summer.
Positive and mindful, Lily is an excellent coach, great listener, good partner in any adventure and amazing problem solver. We hope you are lucky enough to have Lily coach you this summer!
