Our adult programs range from coaches classes to independent rowing opportunities and are open to adults ages 18+.
The experienced rowing classes are for rowers with previous rowing experience or for those that have completed Learn to Row 1 and 2 with coaches permission. Rowers need the skill and fitness to row 3 x 5 km intervals, 15 km each practice. Our goal is to build endurance, fitness, stamina and whole boat skills. Morning classes are doing this in preparation for racing season, while evening classes are geared at staying active in the recreational activity of rowing. Contact a Coach if you are uncertain about the suitability of our classes for your skill set.
