Rowing

The internationally renowned Brentwood Rowing Club has a highly distinguished history that has produced many Olympians, including gold medalists. More recent results include Malcolm Howard (Class of 2001) who was a member of Canada's gold medal winning men's eight. Scott Frandsen (Class of 1998) teamed up with fellow alum David Calder (Class of 1996) and won the silver medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Brentwood's medal total was good enough to finish 54th out of 204 countries!

Rowing at Brentwood College in Mill Bay BC

Brentwood rowing attracts enthusiastic athletes who are interested in learning to row, or in further developing their skill, endurance, and performance on the water. A coaching staff that includes the 2007 North American Junior Coach of the Year, a former national team member from the women's team and a three- time Olympian from the men's team. Facilities include an indoor rowing tank, an enviably equipped boathouse, and an expanse of ocean: it is not surprising that our athletes continue to add hardware and glory to a programme that has produced more than 86 national championships in the last 37 years.  Brentwood sends crews to all of the local regattas, Opening Day and Head of the Lake in Seattle, and the Head of the Charles in Boston, USA.    

At the end of April, Brentwood hosts its own International Regatta , the largest of its kind in North America (1,700 athletes). Each May, select crews also have a chance to travel to the Canadian High School Championships in St Catharines, Ontario. Brentwood has attended the famous Royal Henley Regatta in England several times, winning the Princess Elizabeth Challenge Cup in 1996. In 2007, the Brentwood crew lost in the final by a foot, which was considered by Rowing News, as the 'Race of the Year'.

In the last 40 years, Brentwood rowers have left the school to attend some of the top universities in the world. These include the top schools in Canada, University of Washington, University of California Berkeley, and all the top Ivy League schools in the United States. Three students continued their studies to Oxford and Cambridge.
Rowing is open to all male and female athletes. Training is also available for coxswains.
