We had a great 2011 learn to row season, with five sessions of sweep rowing and two sculling classes! In 2012, we'll have 4 sweep and 2 sculling classes, too! Check out the schedule below, or, if you can't wait for the ice to thaw, perhaps consider indoor rowing classes, which start in January 2012! Feel free to contact us if you have questions.

Our Learn-to-Row class are meant for beginners without prior rowing experience, although it is also a very useful refresher for those who have been off the water for several seasons!
Each Learn-to-Row group learns the basics of sweep rowing in eight- and four-person rowing shells, and also has the opportunity to try sculling. There are also opportunities for friendly competition at the conclusion of each course! Check out photos and videos from past sessions!

If you're not familiar with the difference between sculling (each person has two smaller oars) and sweeping (each person has one large oar), we suggest checking out our "
New Rower/Parent Information" page, prepared for our novice high school athletes... there is a lot of helpful information on there!
See you on the water!
