On-water and off-water clinics and workshops are offered throughout the year to ONEC Rowing members. Most clinics are free or have a nominal charge. See the Rowing Calendar for this year’s offerings.
Pre-requisite for on-water clinics: Step 2 (Learn-to-Scull) ‘graduation’ or equivalent.
Touring and Quad Rowing
ONEC offers many opportunities to hop into a quad and row including group rows and tours.
Pre-requisite for quad rows: “Introduction to Quad Rowing” which is free for members.
If you have some experience in a crew boat, but need a refresher, come to the “Quad Refresher” clinic which is free for members.
At the beginning of the season and at several points thereafter, rowers who are new to sculling at ONEC will be able to join in an Orientation to ONEC session and have their sculling competency assessed.
Learn about safety on the Ottawa River, rowing patterns, how to use the boat reservation system, and other important information to make your sculling experience safe and fun.
Pre-requisite: Extensive sculling experience at another rowing club or at ONEC two years ago or earlier.
The contact information for the coaches are on the Rowing Contact list on the ONEC/Rowing website.
Coaching Development
Much of the coaching at ONEC Sculling is given by volunteers. We encourage members to follow coaching courses given by Row Ontario to get trained and become certified. You can contact the coaching development officer on the Rowing Contact list on the ONEC/Rowing website.
