Event information

Registrations for this event are closed.

Learn to row over 5 Sunday mornings with our friendly coaches in a course designed for the complete beginner.  The next course commences Sunday 27th May, from 7-9am, at a cost of $150.  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 week 5.

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.  It is not always possible to find and extra session that all registrants are able to attend so there is no guarantee.  We will endeavor to find a day that will suit most if not all attendees.

While at the beginner level aerobic fitness is not required, however, 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.
