MASTERS COMPETITIVE MEMBERSHIP

The Masters Competitive program is designed for experienced adult rowers who want to train seriously with first-rate coaches four mornings per week in preparation for regattas or to achieve individual goals. A full training plan, including on- and off-water workouts for non-coached days, will be provided, as will regatta coaching support and boat transportation to many of the major summer and fall races in Ontario. Hanlan membership is required.
