TECHNIQUE, FITNESS AND SPEED ON THE WATER
Our competitive programs are designed for those who are 14 years and older (no upper age limit!) interested in training to race either this year or at some point in the future. These sessions are also suitable for those who used to race, and that still want to do competitive training practices.
Those in our competitive training programs are typically the following individuals:
High School rowers who have learned to row with us or another club
University rowers in preparatory training cycles looking to build their strength, endurance, speed and skill to be ready for the fall racing season.
Masters competitive rowers looking to train for specific races, or simply to train in racing shells at a level that will push them.
If you are currently not a rower, but would like to join our competitive program, we have all the programs and coaching abilities to get you there. We teach people to row and will work with you to build your skills and speed until you are able to join this program. Checkout our Programs for more details, or call (705.765.1939) or email (info@hatchetsrowing.com) us anytime.

COMPETITIVE TRAINING TIMES AND COSTS
SPRING COMPETITIVE ROWING - 10 weeks
(April 6 - June 9,2026)
Our spring training is geared towards training for the high school racing season.

Spring Competitive Training Cost - $400 + HST
SUMMER COMPETITIVE ROWING - 8 WEEKS
(June 27 - Aug 21, 2026)
During the summer, we have a big mix of rowers including High School, University and Masters rowers. We have a maximum of 8 rowers in any session and we have daily competitive training sessions at 6am, and at 7:30am. We encourage those who would like to train 5 days a week to register for our 6am sessions, and those who would like to come 2-3 times a week to register for our 7:30am time slots. Our weekends are scheduled to allow those only available on weekends to row with us, and for additional sessions for our rowers that attend during the week. Of course, if this doesn’t work, we are flexible. We work to make the mornings a meaningful training opportunity and base the workouts according to both our regular schedule and who is rowing.
