We will meet at the ARC boathouse for the first hour and then travel to Deep Eddy Pool for a swim test. The Austin Rowing Club Juniors program is dedicated to the teaching of the fundamentals of rowing to 9th-12th grade students. The program is open to ALL students in the Austin and surrounding areas. Rowing is the ultimate in team sports. It teaches commitment and respect for others.
Team work is essential to make a boat go.
There are no super stars in rowing. It takes everyone on the team to make a boat successful. The Austin Rowing Club Juniors program teaches self-discipline, motivation, confidence, perseverance, goal setting, time management, and the rewards of hard work. The skills learned in rowing will carry them through their lives in whatever they pursue. The program also stresses the importance of healthy living through physical fitness, nutrition, and healthy habits.
