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 learn-to-row course is Aug. 21-23, 2020:.

• 6-8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 21
• 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 22
• 2-4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 23
• Note: Seats in the course are awarded in the order that registration and fee payment are received.

​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.

The learn-to-row class is held at the Dayton Boat Club boathouse in the 3200 block of East River Road in Moraine, just south of the Mandalay Banquet Center and Orbit Crane.

Masks are required and must be worn at all times. Also bring your own hand sanitizer. 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 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.
