Adult Learn to Row is a 9-week program designed to introduce adults to rowing in a fun, relaxed, and safe environment. In this program, athletes will learn boat basics, basic rowing mechanics and technique, and gain experience in a wide variety of sizes and types of boats. This program follows the “Learn to Train” pathway and athletes will be expected to meet certain competencies before moving on to other programs. Athletes who complete this program may choose to move on to the Adult Rec/Masters program in the fall.
