Rowing is a sport, an art, a meditation, a community...
We believe that learning to row can be a transformative experience for athletes of every age and level. Our Learn to Row classes are a great way to start your journey. We look forward to sharing our love of rowing with you.
Learn to Row Classes
Add a Title
Join us this spring and summer for some of the best four weeks on the water!! With sessions crafted specifically for brand-new rowers, learn the basics of the rowing stroke for both sculling and sweep styles, the nuances of rowing terminology, and all about being out on the water in our busy urban lakes and channels.
Small class size and experienced coaches & volunteers help build on-water skills quickly and safely. Participation in this class can lead to club membership, team community, and competitive racing experiences!
