MASTERS SPORT MEMBERSHIP

The Hanlan Masters Sport rowing program is designed for those who wish to row evenings/weekends for fitness and fun, while learning more about the sport and improving technical skills in a safety-first environment. Want to get fast and fit? We will help. Just want to enjoy Toronto from the lakeside - we have that too! Rowing is a fabulous all-body sport that is easy on the joints - you can start at any age! Coached practices, with two coaches to support different levels of experience, are offered twice per week.
