Adult Learn-To-Row

Registration is now open for the Dayton Boat Club masters (adult) learn-to-row course Friday through Sunday, Sept. 10-12, 2021. The course schedule is:

• 6-8 p.m. Friday
• 10 a.m.-noon Saturday
• 2-4 p.m. Sunday
• Note: Seats are awarded in the order that registration and fees are received. Once seats are filled, new registrants are added to a waiting list; people on the waiting list who do not receive seats will receive refunds or the first seats in the next course. ​

Fee for the on-water course is $100 per person. Participants learn safety, boat handling, and the proper stroke technique, starting on a rowing machine. Participants are on the water rowing with teammates by day 2.

Participants must be able to lift 30 pounds overhead and be able get into and out of the boat without help (comparable to standing up from a seated position on the ground without getting on one's knees). For the class, participants should wear comfortable but not loose-fitting clothes. Bring a water bottle, a small towel, and a pair of socks to wear in the boat.

Those who wish to join the club's novice rowing program after the course will have their learn-to-row fees deducted from the season's dues. (Novice dues are typically $250 per season without the discount.)

To register, fill out the form below and hit “Submit.” Then, pay the fee. To do this, go to the go to the Adult program fees page and select “Learn to row.” Note: Seats are limited; payment is required in advance. A seat is not guaranteed until the fee is received. Note: The registration fee is refundable if a seat is not available or if a person on the waiting list takes the seat of a person who cancels.
