Learn to row over 5 Consecutive Sunday mornings 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.  You will be on the water by week 2 and hopefully reach the Narrows Bridge or Elizabeth Quay by week 5, depending on rowing conditions.  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 the colder months and not in summer.  Here in Perth our winter water is more often smoother to row on while in summer the Easterly winds create awful choppy water.  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.
