Learn to row over 5 Consecutive Sunday mornings with our friendly coaches in a course designed for the complete beginner.  The next course was meant to commence Sunday 5th August, from 7-9am, BUT HAS BEEN DELAYED TO START 12TH AUGUST, 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.  You will be on the water by week 2 and at the Narrows Bridge by week 5.  You will probably get to see dolphins...but we cant promise.

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 a replacement lesson at the end of the course.  Should that happen it is not always possible to find an extra session that all registrants are able to attend.  We would endeavor to find a day that will suit most if not all attendees but there are no guarantees.

Aerobic fitness is not required at this beginner level, however as a crew you do need to be able to lift a boat overhead and your body needs to be flexible enough to compress up during the stroke, requiring a general level of good health.  It is a good idea to do some stretching before and after every session.

Many people wonder why we row in winter and not when its warmer.  Here in Perth our winter water is more often glassy and smooth and lovely to row on.  So yes its a bit cold, but layer up to keep warm and surprise yourself as to how invigorating and terrific it is to try out the sport of rowing.
