Program

Because rowing is an accessible sport to a general public, the Montreal Rowing Club has built over the years a program for people, beginners and initiated who want to practice the sport in a recreational context.

The objective of this program is to enable its members to develop their technical ability but also to develop the concept of pleasure within crews.

During the summer practices will be held at the Olympic Basin, while during the winter you can enjoy the facilities of the Quartier des Athlètes to stay in good shape!

Training

Training sessions supervised by coaches are given three times a week in the evenings.

• During the summer, trainings are held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings between 6:00 pm and 8:00 pm at the Olympic Basin.
• During the winter, the training are held on Monday and Wednesday evenings between 6:00 pm and 8:00 pm and Saturday mornings between 10:00 am and 12:00 am at Quartier des Athlètes.

Outside these periods of supervised training, members (except novice members) can enjoy the Olympic Basin during free time but without a coach.

Each group is under the supervision of a coach who will organize the training at the start of each practise and will follow your progress during the program.

Coaching

You benefit from the supervision of coaches who have their NCCP certification, which will help and advise you to improve your rowing. These coaches are continously improving with RCA training and their training are suitable for recrational practice.

Please note that the coach supervises several recreational rowers during the training and may not be available at any time during the entire duration of the training.

Activities and regattas
