From First Strokes to Lasting Impact: Oars for Oceans Invites Community to Connect with Water and Support Ocean Sustainability
About this Event

In celebration of Ocean Week Victoria, this one-of-a-kind experience invites you to connect with the water in a way that’s joyful, meaningful, and accessible—no experience required.

The full experience runs approximately 1.5 hours, giving you time to learn, try, and truly feel the rhythm of rowing.You’ll start with a brief on-land introduction to rowing, learning the basics of technique and movement before heading out on the water. From there, you’ll step into a boat alongside an experienced rower who will guide you through your first strokes in a safe, supportive environment.

This is your chance to explore, learn, and take action. Through hands-on experience and a shared commitment to ocean sustainability, Oars for Oceans brings community and purpose together on the water.

Every participation is a contribution. All proceeds support the club’s transition to electric motors and ongoing environmental stewardship—helping protect the waterway we cherish.

ROW IT. PROTECT IT. POWER IT DIFFERENTLY.
