Information for beginners
If you are curious about trying the sport of rowing (also called 'crew'), this is your chance to learn. As a beginner this fall you can learn to row during the first two weeks without paying any fees! If you like what you are learning then at the end of the two-week trial period you can pay for the fall season and continue.
Our highly experienced coaches are practicing rowers themselves and include former national champions. We offer one-on-one attention and instruction for beginners with an emphasis on sculling. All beginning rowers learn to row in single sculls. This helps foster more effective technique, fitness and overall ‘boat sense’. Athletes move up to larger team boats – doubles, quads, fours, eights – after they are comfortable rowing in a racing single. This typically happens during the first two weeks of the program. However, single sculling remains an important ongoing component of training for all of our rowers.
