Adult Learn to Row Course

Spring Break Rowing

Our next Learn to Row course is scheduled for September 25th – 27th!

Rowing can be a lifelong pursuit; it is easy on the joints, adaptable to many body sizes and levels of athletic skill. Competitive and recreational rowers range in age from 12 to the late 90s. It is never too soon or too late to learn about this sport. Our Learn to Row course provides an introduction to the indoor rowing machines, sweep rowing and sculling. The course provides plenty of individual attention and time on the water.

Sculling is the type of rowing where each rower uses two oars, one for each hand. In sweep rowing, each rower has one oar.

Friday, September 25th: 6-8pm, Indoor Rowing Machine Lessons
Saturday, September 26th: 11am-3pm, Sweep Rowing Lessons
Sunday, September 27th: 9am-1pm, Sculling Lessons
