Learn To Row

This 3-hour class is for beginners with no prior rowing experience. Some may say it is the “bucket list” class as you can get exposure to rowing and determine that you would like to take a Novice Sweep class and develop your rowing skills. This class will expose participants to the basics of rowing (land and water) and you will come away knowing terms like: feathering, square blade, foot stretcher and rigger. The only requirement is that you are open to learn a new sport.

Novice Sweep

This is a great class for those who have not rowed in several years AND for participants coming from a Learn to Row class. Each Learn-to- Row class covers the basics of sweep rowing in a eight-person rowing shell and will provide participants with a basic set of rowing skills along with fundamentals of technique in a fun group environment. Upon successful completion of this class, participants can progress to Intermediate Sweep or Novice Scull. Our final class will have all 8 participants rowing together and a fun competition if we have 16 participants.
