A fun introduction to the skills and knowledge of rowing.  The program covers all basics, from the equipment used and how to handle it on and off the water, as well as ergo and on water sculling or sweep rowing technique.

Rowing is a highly technical sport that requires months of dedicated technique training and a moderate to high level of fitness and personal discipline. Rowing is not a sport that can be learned quickly.  A Learn to Row course will give you the basics required to progress to the next level of development.
