LEARN TO ROW

$150 / 4 sessions

New rowers learning the stroke with a coach

Four sessions over two weeks take you from never-touched-an-oar to rowing full pressure with a crew. Sessions run monthly, June through September, and cap at 8 rowers so every seat gets real coaching.

All equipment is provided — stable training boats, oars, and PFDs. You need to pass the swim requirement (or wear a PFD), bring water, and show up curious. Most graduates join as members the same month.

THE FOUR SESSIONS

Session 1 — Land & erg — the stroke sequence on the rowing machine, boat handling, and safety briefing. No water yet.
Session 2 — First launch — stable quads with a coach in the launch: balance, feathering, and rowing by pairs.
Session 3 — All eight blades — full-crew rowing at light pressure, steering basics, and dock landings.
Session 4 — Graduation row — a 5 km river tour at full pressure, then next-steps chat about membership.
