Boys will also learn the Rowing Dynamic warm-up used by all school teams within the secondary school program, the four key movements/exercises for strength development in rowing and our core and flexibility program, all designed by our Rowing Conditioning Coach. The Level 1 program must be completed for participants to enrol in the Level 2 program.
