1) Fall Novice and School Rowing League: Toronto Rowing for Youth (TRY) is the umbrella under which these programs operate. The Fall Novice and School Rowing League ensures that each young person has an opportunity to TRY rowing at least twice a week. Novice school participants come to the Club for two sessions, Saturday and Sunday, each approximately two hours in length. Students from over 16 high schools take part at various levels of development.

The goal of this program is:
    1) make a difference in the attitudes of the young participants
    2) expose them to a new life experience
    3) foster and develop good work ethics
    4) ensure that each child has fun!

2) High School Division Junior Varsity (JV) and Varsity: Graduates of the Fall Novice League have the opportunity to row in the high school division. Participation in this program takes place in the early mornings - 6:00 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. - three times each week on a Monday, Wednesday, Thursday schedule for JV's and 5-6 times each week, 5:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. for Varsity athletes. Teachers and parents are always encouraged to get involved and help out where needed.

The goal of this program is:

    1) develop in the rower the important of team work, dedication and commitment
    2) teach foundation skills in the new rower's technique
    3) introduce the element of racing and competition
    4) provide a fun atmosphere where the athlete learns to love the sport

3) Deaf Children: We believe that rowing is an activity that can be enjoyed by everyone and the deaf kids who have come to Bayside during the last two summers have proven us right. Our outreach to Silent Voice, a summer camp for the deaf, has been one of the most exiting programs at Bayside during the summer camps.
Signs to represent some of the unique terminology found were made-up as they went along. They are so focused, that they sometimes learn how to row at a more rapid pace than their hearing counterparts. Their deafness never limits their enthusiasm or enjoyment.

4) Adaptive Rowing: Following the success of the Silent Voice program we have initiated partnership with Sport for Disable Ontario so as to get the blind and disabled on the water and rowing. Wider boats allow for a more stable environment within which these groups can enjoy the activity.

5) Recreational: Bayside offers the opportunity for experienced adult rowers to participate in the sport they love, and to be a part of a fun club atmosphere through our Recreational Rowing program. Recreational rowers enjoy the benefits of full club membership, but do not participate in a formal training programme. A variety of recreational rowing memberships are available to suit most schedules and levels of commitment. Bayside R.C. asks that our recreational club members commit a nominal amount of time each year to participate in and support the club's other activities and programs.

6) Adult Learn-To-Row and Adult Corporate Rowing League: These programs are offered through our partner organization, Friends of Bayside Rowing Club, for the benefit of Bayside Rowing Club and its Inner City Youth rowing program.
