Rec Rowing League
Light exercise, lots of laughs, and friendly racing on the Henley Course. The Rec Rowing League is for members who row for fun, not finish lines.
Row for fun, not finish lines
If you’ve never rowed, or never rowed in our Recreational League, no experience is necessary. The League offers a little exercise, lots of entertainment, and great relaxation on the Henley Course. Members are out for fun; competition is secondary. Sign up individually or with a few friends. Certified coaches are provided by the League and expect to be teaching novice rowers - no need to be intimidated.
Coaches expect to teach novices - no need to feel intimidated. Just show up and you’ll learn.
Join Session 1 (Jun-Jul), Session 2 (Aug-Sept), or both. Pick what fits your summer plans.
Sign up solo and we’ll find you a crew, or grab a few friends and register together.
The Rec Rowing League sets and collects its own fees through stcatharinesrecrowing.com. Head there for current pricing and to register. Questions? Email James Walker.
Three steps to your spot
New rowers need a Rowing Canada Aviron (RCA) account before their first session. Set one up at membership.rowingcanada.org — it takes 5 minutes. The one-time $76.50 RCA + Row Ontario fee covers you for the full calendar year. Already a current SCRC member? Skip to step 1.
