Youth Rowing Levels 1-3
Learn the fundamentals in a single and progress to the quad to row with others as a crew.
Ages 12-18. All levels of rowing experience welcome, beginners to advanced. Confident swimmers only.
1 or 2-week program
M-F, multiple 1.5hr AM time slots!
Are you ready to learn how to row? Or have you already learned last summer and want to row some more? Everyone learns and reviews the fundamentals of helm control, parts of the stroke and balance in our stable singles; we progress to the quads to synchronize efforts with others. Each session culminates in a fun pirate race day (weather permitting). We encourage rowers to sign up for the whole summer to see significant skills improvement - practice makes perfect!
