Have you ever thought you’d like to try the sport of rowing? Rowing is a whole body exercise that builds strength and aerobic capacity. It also provides great team experiences, opportunities for competition, and the pleasure of being on the water. Join us to experience this exciting and growing sport!

Guelph Rowing Club has opened registration for adult Learn To Row classes for summer 2016. Classes start at the beginning of June and we have lots of choices for times. You can find out more on the program page, or contact us by email if you have questions.

Congratulations to all the Guelph competitors at the Head of the Trent this year!
