Adult Learn-To-Row
Our three-day rowing course teaches the fundamentals of the rowing stroke; parts of a typical racing shell; boat safety and handling; coxswain commands; and various technique drills. It typically ends with a short race between two eights. Our next course, Sept. 6-8, is now full; to join the waiting list, fill out the form below, then follow the instructions to pay the fee. Though subject to change, the schedule is:
The course fee is $100 per person. Participants start on a rowing machine the first day and are on the water rowing with teammates by day 2. Participants must be able to swim, lift 30 pounds overhead and 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 $275 per season without the discount.) Location: The boathouse is at 3201 E. River Road, Moraine, Ohio; on Google Maps, it also shows up as 3040 Great Miami River Recreation Trail. To register, fill out the form below and hit “Submit.” Then, pay the fee. To do this, go to the Adult program fees page and select “Learn to row” in the PayPal section. 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 does not become available or if a person on the waiting list takes the seat of a person who cancels. |
