We have rowing available to both experienced adults and those that are new to rowing. In the spring and summer, we offer Learn to Row, League, Rec, and Competitive programs for those of all levels. Information about those can be found below and on the Learn to Row page.

We have a range of equipment that members have access to. Ranging from racing singles to more stable boats that can withstand a few ocean waves. As a club, we almost exclusively scull.

We are a small and growing club and, with the exception of our coaches, are a volunteer run organization. Joining False Creek means joining an active and engaged group of people who are enthusiastic about creating a welcoming, diverse, and safe community. We organize informal social events, and hold regular maintenance sessions over the summer where members get a chance to learn more about maintaining equipment, and help with regular compound maintenance.

If you are interested in joining, please refer to the program descriptions below or contact us for more information. We offer 2 free member rows to try us out if you are an experienced rower that is up to date on Rowing Canada/Rowing BC fees.
