Winter is coming and that means winter training is around the corner!
The Ottawa Rowing Club will return to the Taggart Family YMCA (180 Argyle Ave) for 2019/2020 winter ORC member training. You can find info about the Taggart Y here.
The Taggart YMCA is offering a 6 month pass (this pass is available to ORC members only) beginning November 11, 2019 and ending May 11, 2020. The price for the 6 month pass is $296.62 (including HST). This price includes towel service, access to the ORC erg room, the Y conditioning floor, pool and drop in fitness classes (including spinning). Speciality fitness classes are extra.
To register, go to the Taggart Family Y any day of the week between 9am and 7pm and ask for Lourdes or Natasha with membership services. You can also contact natasha.artelle@ymcaywca.ca or Lourdes.carreon@ymcaywca.ca to set up a time to register.
Registering takes time. Make sure you go to the Taggart Y to register well in advance before your first training session. It is highly recommended that you set up a time to register with Natasha or Lourdes BEFORE going to the Y to sign up.
There is no pro-rating available with the pass. The pass is non-transferable. Refunds are only available up to 10 days after purchase.
The erg room and Y amenities can only be accessed using this 6 month pass. Day passes and guest passes do not apply.
