Build Your Foundation In Rowing
Our Learn to Row Program is eight (8) classes offered in a 2.5 week time period for 1.75 hours each class. You must be able to attend all eight classes.
No experience is required. The Learn to Row Day is not a prerequisite.
This program is a must for learning the sport of rowing and for going on to more experienced levels of rowing. We will go in depth on the equipment and handling of the boats, terminology, motions of rowing, rowers/seats in the boat, the rowing stroke and how to row. There will be a coxswain in the boat instructing rowers and a coach overseeing and directing everything.
No Prior Experience Is Required
This program is for anybody who wants to learn the fundamentals of rowing and to determine if rowing is the sport for them.
For safety reasons, you must know how to swim and tread water. We are asking that you carry your own health insurance.
Know though, that safety is a high priority in holding this program and sharing the sport of rowing.
Program Details
Participation in this program includes carrying the boat and moving it in and out of the water, rowing on an erg, and rowing in a shell on the water. It is a whole body exercise and overall wonderful experience to synchronize with the other rowers and share the beauty of the canal.
Wear comfortable, non-baggy clothing (loose clothing can catch in the seat) and socks (shoes are stationary in the boat and you must wear socks). Bring a water bottle and be ready to have fun.
Full attendance is required. Please arrive 15 minutes before class to begin preparations so that the class can start on time.
