What and Who: No experience necessary! The 28th Annual LVISSAA Fall High School Rowing League is an opportunity for novice and/or experienced high school students to learn, train and compete for their school in three regattas. Aside from having thousands of Greater Victoria students compete for their high school team and beyond, the Victoria High School Rowing program has developed several Olympic medalists. This year, three athletes from the Canadian Olympic Rowing team started rowing for their high school: Lindsay Jennerich (Claremont), Patricia Obee (Stelly’s), Caileigh Filmer (Mt. Doug).
When: September 9 to November 6, 2016.
Where: Depending on your school, rowing activities occur at Elk Lake Boathouse (5100 Pat Bay Highway) or Gorge Narrows Rowing Club (2940 Jutland Road).
Why: Get Fit. Compete. Make friends. Teamwork. Be outside.
How: High School rowing teams are assembled during the first week of school in September. Listen for announcements for the team or get in touch with the rowing teacher sponsor at your school.
