Membership
Membership with the Kelowna Rowing Club affords an exceptional rowing experience. KRC is a non-profit that seeks to be as open and transparent in all aspects of club operations, including membership fees. We have thus broken them down as follows:
- Rowing Canada Insurance - First and foremost, it is important to operate in a safe environment, and should an accident occur, safe in the knowledge members and the club are covered
- Rowing BC Dues - Members as well as the club pay fees to Rowing BC. Rowing BC advocates for, and supports the growth, development and sustainability of the entire rowing community in BC
- Access to club-owned equipment - Unlike most other sports, rowers just need to show up with appropriate clothing and a water bottle. Rowing boats, oars and safety gear is all provided. A new pair of oars are approximately $1000 and new singles, doubles and quads are in the range of $14,000, $22,000 and $35,000. Naturally, the club takes great care of this equipment
- Coaching - We have a qualified and experienced Head Coach who oversees practices, training plans and race preparation. Furthermore, we have a team of certified Learn-to-Row coaches
- Unlimited water sessions - Within the scheduled practice times, members are welcome to participate in as many or as few practices as they like. In the summer months there are multiple practices scheduled every day and in the shoulder seasons, four sessions per week.
