Advancement Squad After completing the Intensive Coaching Program (ICP) you can progress into A-Squad by either joining the Y Rowing Centre ($32.50 per month – first month free with your ICP Bonus) or by purchasing a Welcome Card with eight casual rowing sessions (Adults $80). A-Squad is held on Wednesday mornings at 10.00am and Wednesday evenings at 6pm and Sunday mornings at 9am. These sessions are supervised by a qualified coach and even if the weather is unsuitable for rowing, there are gym facilities and cross-training instruction. A-Squad is where you will meet other new rowers and learn to work as a team, improving your rowing skills and gaining more confidence and enjoyment with each session. If you are unsure about becoming a member of the Y Rowing Centre immediately, the Welcome Card will give you the opportunity to row with A-Squad and become familiar with all club activities. Once you are a member, you can row or use the gym facilities at any time.
Recreational Rowing If you are unable to commit to regular training, you can still enjoy rowing in a crew or single scull for fitness and recreation on a casual basis.
