ABOUT ALLISON WEBB, LEARN TO ROW COORDINATOR

My passion for rowing began with a view from the coach boat while watching my cousin learn to row. As a member of the Juniors program at the Vancouver Rowing Club, I learned quickly that good technique and hard work will take you where you want to go. I trained at Burnaby Lake and VRC, and competed in many scholastic regattas as well as the BC Games. I credit many fine coaches and mentors who took the time to contribute to my learning of the sport.

The need for quality coaching inspired my work with several clubs in the Lower Mainland and for a season In the UK.

I have been competing for and coaching at VRC for 17yrs.
