IGNITE THE PASSION TO ROW
This simple statement embodies VRC’s athletes’ passion for the sport of rowing. We continue to celebrate our club’s past impressive national and international successes, which have placed VRC athletes on Canada’s Olympic, Pan American, and Commonwealth Games teams.
Inspiration for excellence is found on the walls of the Trophy Lounge, in the beautiful setting of our course and clubhouse, and in the determination found in the eyes of our athletes as they train on the ergs and in our well-equipped weight training room.
Our 200 members proudly row a modern, high-quality fleet of shells. The calibre, commitment, and experience of our coaches make it possible for a new rower to transition from their Learn-To-Row experience through Novice all the way to the podium if that is their goal. VRC also offers a popular recreational rowing program, which allows a rower to develop skills without the racing component. For many, it all begins with our popular Learn-To-Row program, which continues to play an important role in the development of rowing in Vancouver.
