New to Rowing?
Welcome to those of you who haven’t rowed before and want to try it out!
In collaboration with Rowing Canada (RCA) and Row Nova Scotia, we offer two options for those who have never rowed before. Rowing is a great, low impact activity and a great way to get out on the water and staying fit and healthy!
Come and Try Rowing Event
We hold a ”Come and Try Rowing” event every year as part of RCA's National Come Try Rowing day. This is a short introductory rowing session lasting approximately 1 hour. During the Come and Try Rowing event you'll be shown the basics of the rowing stroke, get to know our Coastal Rowing shells and oars and some of the terminology related to rowing them, and have a chance to get into a very stable Coastal Rowing Shell with one of LYC Rowing's experienced rowers for a short row around the harbour.
Stay tuned for more information about the 2024 Come and Try Rowing Event at LYC Rowing.
LYC Rowing's Learn-to-Row Class
Have you ever seen rowers out on the bay, gliding across the water and said to yourself, "Self, that looks like fun. I'd like to try it!" OR Are sports injuries and aches and pains making it difficult and less fun to do what you currently do to stay fit? OR Does quietly gliding across beautiful Mahone Bay, enjoying the sea and sun and looking for seals and whales sound like a great and wonderful experience?
If any of the above apply, or if you are just keen to row why not take LYC Rowing's Learn-to-Row Class!
LYC Rowing's Learn-to-Row class is a great way to experience a new sport and meet like-minded people in a fun, safe environment!
No experience required - Our instructors will teach you everything you need to know about the rowing stroke, oar and boat handling, rowing commands, and boat safety! We will teach you in very stable Coastal Rowing Shells. You will have a chance to learn from and have fun with experienced rowers.
Our Learn-to-Row Class is a perfect introduction to the lifelong activity of rowing. Be prepared to love it and be hooked and to spend your summer rowing with us on the beautiful waters of Mahone Bay.
