Learn to Row
Sign up for Learn to Row
Step 1. Make sure you meet the basic rowing requirements:
Age requirement: You must be over 18 to row with the club.
Lifting requirement: We carry our quad boats to and from the lake for each row. This means you must be able to:
lift approximately 30 pounds up and over your head;
carry that amount of weight on your shoulder to the dock;
bend and squat to place the boat gently in the water and to enter the boat.
Swimming ability: Although it is highly unlikely that you will flip a boat in our program, you must be able to swim to join the club.
Step 2. Fill out the application form.
