The course  

Cost: $200, includes 10 coached sessions, equipment, insurance, & Club membership until 31 December so you can keep rowing after the course. 

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

Session 1: Saturday 29 Sept, 7:00 am to 9:00 am. This first session will be on land — introductions, shed induction, ergos, boat handling practice.
Session 2: Sunday 30 Sept 7:00 am to 9:00 am. This session includes going out on the water for a row.
Subsequent sessions (8 more): Also in the 7:00 to 9:00 am weekend days 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. Not too loose.

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.
