Calgary Rowing Club

Senior Competitive

The CRC Competitive program brings together rowers aged 19 and up to prepare for and compete at local, national, and international competition. At a minimum, training is daily during the water season May to October. Those athletes and crews preparing for high level competition will naturally be expected to put in additional work.

From May through August, the core of the training for the competitive group occurs in the early morning - typically from 5:15-7:00 am. In winter, these rowers cross train in a variety of ways to improve their fitness. Training includes many hours on the rowing machine and cross country skiing, plus weight training, and core strength.

The Calgary Rowing Club has been the proving ground for many successful athletes. Most recently, Calgary athletes who have represented Canada internationally are Tracy Cameron, 2005 World Lwt Champion and Camille Brillion, Pan Am Games medallist. Calgary's Scott Rand returned from the 2007 World Adaptive Championships with a bronze medal.
