The Varsity and Novice Summer program is for athletes (Girls & Boys mixed) with at least one Novice season of rowing experience. This is a program for those seeking both to race and to maintain fitness while enjoying the benefits of sculling or sweeping and improving their rowing skills under the guidance of Coach Thomas. Select crews from this program will be entered to race alongside the HPG crews during Summer regattas including Sweeps and Sculls & Cromwell Cup. These will be selected by our coaches and racing will depend on a certain level of rowing skill as a crew. Boats available to use include the club’s Rec Singles, Training Singles, Double sculls, and larger sweep boats 4s and 8s depending on the group size and skill level.
