Register for this Class

These classes are for students (13 years and over) and adults new to the sport. 500 meter splits, strokes per minute, Power-10’s and leg drive will all be part of the new rowing jargon you learn as part of this class. If you have prior rowing experience, you will be appropriately challenged to maintain proper technique while increasing your physical fitness. You will not be required to row a 2,000-meter test piece, but will learn how to:

• Adjust the ergometer (“erg”) properly before rowing

• Row with proper technique so you don’t injure yourself

• Apply power most effectively

You’ll understand that dipping your hands, shooting your slide or opening your back early is not desirable; You’ll

learn that suspending your body weight on the end of the erg is desirable. Wear tighter-fitting shorts (biker style) and a T-shirt. Bring a water bottle. Space is limited so sign up early! Students must register prior to attending class. No refunds
