Learn to Row

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next Adult Learn to Row Course starts in April 2011

 (for junior learn to row courses please see the Junior page)

We have fixed the dates of this years courses as 9th April to 14th May, 18th June to 23rd July and the 17th September to the 22nd October. Each course will be six sessions of about two hours on a Saturday from 13:00 and will cover an introduction to the club, the facilities and the basics of water safety. We'll progress quickly onto the land based training on rowing machines to help you understand the mechanics of the rowing stroke and from then onto the water which is the fun bit, in crew boats and singles if you prefer.

The £60 course cost includes a years membership to British Rowing which provides you with comprehensive insurance and a subscription to 'Rowing and Regatta' Magazine so you can keep abreast of all that goes on in the world of rowing.

In order to help everyone out, including the coaches, we are offering some taster sessions before the first course so that you can get an idea of what's ahead, places will be limited to six people on each on Sunday February 20th and Sunday March 20th. Please email me if you would like to come along. There will be more opportunities later in the year for tasters, so if you're planning on joining us for a later course please don't worry!

 

 

 

Course places are limited to 12 and will be let on a first come-first served basis.

April/May Learn to Row Course

The first learn to row course of 2010 completed on Saturday 15th May with a challenge of rowing the 4km to Farndon and back in the new gig fours.  Everyone rose to the challenge and were all more than ready to celebrate with a BBQ.
