Upcoming programs
Development and Squad run with the ACT public school Term 4, 12 October to 16 December 2026. Places are capped, so enrol early. Pick your program below.
Good to know
- These are programs rather than memberships. Your enrolment covers the season or term and there are no ongoing payments.
- Squad trains alongside Development, using the afternoon sessions for technique and the morning sessions for race preparation.
- Rowers must belong to a club in order to race. Black Mountain Rowing Club is one option, and we can talk you through it if you are not sure.
- All on Lake Burley Griffin. Boats, oars and coaching provided, places capped.
