More and more newcomers are taking up oars to experience the challenges of recreational rowing. Typically, the rowing program meets three times a week for six weeks. During week one, water safety is discussed.
Participants train indoors on rowing machines called ergometers, used to teach techniques.
We teach the safe and proper way to get in and out of a boat. We also have indoor tanks, which simulate the motion of rowing. You learn to put your oars in and out of the water. Weeks two through six focus on water training, weather permitting. Rowing races are usually of two types, regattas or head.
