Welcome to the North Bay Rowing Club Juniors Crew and welcome to the sport of rowing. Rowing is a sport that can be enjoyed throughout an entire lifetime. It is not an easy sport, but the challenges and trials it presents make the rewards and benefits of the sport much sweeter. Rowing is demanding, both physically and mentally. It requires focus, dedication, hard work, personal sacrifice, and a willingness to work together as part of a team. These are attributes that serve the rower well throughout life. The rewards are many, though they are not at all obvious except to the rower and his/her team. Confidence, knowing success, knowing failure, understanding the value of teamwork, and friendship are among them.
