​

During your semi-private lessons you will learn the basics of sculling, which is a type of rowing in which you’re holding on two two oars.  You also have the option of learning how to do sweep rowing, which is the type of rowing in which you only hold one oar. Both types of rowing are great and fun to learn, they’re just a little different. If you’re not sure which type to start with, we usually suggest sculling. You also have the option of learning how to row in a double with your partner, or you can stick to singles and have your own boat. Once you complete your initial set of rowing lessons, your coach will tell you if you’re ready to join our Juniors or Masters program or if you’ll need to take additional rowing lessons before you can become members and join our coached sessions.
