In addition to on-water training, erging and cross-training are at times in the workout schedule as well.

Spring/Summer
 
Rowing in the spring and summer is critical for success in the fall. Therefore, all athletes are strongly encouraged to row competitively during the spring and summer seasons if they plan to compete at the Varsity level during the university season.
 
For those rowers who are staying in and around the Toronto area during this time, the vast majority will continue to row at Hanlan Boat Club with rowers from both the University of Toronto and other universities across Canada and the U.S.. For those living outside of the city in the summer, soeak to a coach about alternative Boat Clubs.
