Adult Learn-To-Row

The Dayton Boat Club masters (adult) rowing program has modified its learn-to-row program to conform to state- and county-approved virus transmission prevention protocols. The next weekend learn-to-row course will take place in August 2021 (dates to be determined):

• 6-8 p.m. Friday
• 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday
• Noon-2 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; each person on the waiting list who do not receive a seat will receive a refund or one of the first seats in the next course.

​
To receive an email announcing the course dates, use the form on the Adult Program Contact page.

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, also called an "erg" (short for ergometer). Participants are on the water rowing with teammates by day 2.

Consistent with current pandemic safety protocols, masks are required. 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 for the course, 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.
