Event information

Registrations for this event are closed.

Learn to row in 5 weekly sessions commencing on Sunday 11 March, with our friendly coaches in a course designed for the complete beginner.  All equipment is supplied in this course which will teach you about the boats, the equipment and the rowing stroke, and will see you on the water by week 2 and at the Narrows Bridge by the end of the course.

Please note that rowing on the Swan River is weather dependent. If we need to cancel a session for boat safety reasons, we will schedule another lesson at the end of the course.

Also we will not be scheduling a lesson on Easter Sunday (1st April).

While at the beginner level aerobic fitness is not required you do need to be able to lift a boat overhead (as part of a crew) and your body needs to be flexible enough to compress up during the stroke.  It’s a good idea to do some stretching before and after every session.
