Information
& Resources
A Come Try Rowing event is a promotional event hosted by a club or an association to promote rowing within their communities. First-time participants are invited to try rowing in a supervised and safe setting. Come Try events are:
- Promoted by clubs and associations to attract new people to our sport
- Typically 2 – 3 hours in duration
- Supervised by certified coaches
- Not races, regattas or training camps
Once Rowing Canada Aviron (RCA) approves the event, it will be live in the Web Registration System (WRS) and will have a unique URL that is to be used for participant registration. SCROLL DOWN to find a club near you!
All participants should register through the WRS. During the registration process, participants will be required to complete the RCA waiver form. If it is not possible for a person to register through WRS, participants can complete a paper version of the waiver.
Clubs will be billed $5 per participant, up to $75. Come Try Rowing events can have more than 15 participants, at no extra charge. Within 7 days following the event, organizations must confirm their total number of participants to RCA. If RCA does not receive the list of participants within 7 days after the event, the organization will be billed $75.
