We do have other boat club members that are willing to introduce the sport of sculling to you. You will be taking private lessons from an instructor . Others have siblings or children who row in high school or college, and now they want to experience rowing for themselves.
Rowers are of all ages and physical conditions.
However, they do know how to swim and have consulted with their personal physicians with respect to any injuries or physical limitations they may have. This boat has a larger bottom and is more stable then the racing shells. You will be less likely to flip, however it is possible and you should wear something that can get wet. Your instructor will give you commands to follow, they will be the same as on the erg. You may stay tethered to the dock until you get your balance and can feel how the boat will work.
