Most participants have never set foot in a rowing shell before their first class. Classes are taught with the understanding that participants have never touched an oar before. Our learn to row program begins with an introduction of the rowing stroke on the ergometers (or erg, indoor rowing machine) on the first day. The next two days will be spent on the water learning how to row in a sculling shell. Sweep rowing is taught in our devo program, which is the next step after completing learn to row.
