Event information

This event has passed.

The course  

Cost: $200, includes 8-10 coached sessions, insurance, plus Club membership until 30 September. 

The lovely Miles is coaching, ably assisted by fellow club members. Relaxed learning environment. Come and try something new!

Session 1: Saturday August 12th, 7:00 am to 9:00 am. This first session will be on land — introductions, shed induction, ergos, boat handling practice.
Session 2: Sunday August 13th, 7:00 am to 9:00 am. This session includes going out on the water for a row.
Subsequent sessions (6 to 8 more): Also usually in the 7:00 to 9:00 am weekend time slot.

Note: It is ok if you need to miss a session or two, but do let us know in advance so we can arrange the right number of boats and helpers.

Note: The course is for adults (e.g. school rowing parents, teachers, members of the public) and older teenagers who are at university or are doing the course with a parent or guardian.

Location: 55 Riverside Boulevard, Riverside Gardens. Underneath the Community Centre, look for the two big roller doors at the end of the second driveway.


Wear: Slightly stretchy clothes, like you might wear to the gym. 

Bring: Water bottle, cap, socks, sneakers for use on ergos, sunscreen, sense of humour, sprinkling of patience (some things are harder than they look), and a dollop of eagerness.
