ROWING
The goal of the Dalhousie Rowing Club is to provide recreational and competitive rowing opportunities to the Dalhousie community. We train intensively and compete in local and away regattas in the fall (September-November), and many of our rowers continue training together for indoor rowing competitions in the winter. No experience is necessary to join - we have both novice level crews for beginners, and varsity level crews for more experienced rowers, and we welcome everyone to come and try-out for the team. See you on the water!

Club Location
The Dal team will be training out of the Halifax Rowing Club for the duration of the 2009 fall season. It is located at 1641 Fairfield Rd. off of Jubilee Rd.
