Calgary Rowing Club - Adult Learn to Row Program

Imagine gliding across the lake in a sleek rowing shell, with nothing but the sound of oars taking stroke after stroke - well, maybe not the first few times you try this sport, but that is what we aspire to in the sport of rowing, and the Learn to Row course is the first step towards the ultimate experience. You and your crew will spend time with an experienced coach as you learn the basic body mechanics of rowing, boat handling skills both on and off the water, and necessary safety rules. Make sure you are come prepared for all weather conditions: rain, wind, and of course lots of sun!

Your Course Options:

Weekday Learn to Scull - $250/person
These courses are run weekdays from 9-11 am and Tues/Thurs from 7-9 PM. If you are attracted by the allure of sculling and small boats - give this one a try. The focus is on sculling in quads, doubles, and singles (small boat use depending on weather conditions).

Weeknight Learn to Row (sweep) - $200/person)
Fasecinated by the synchronization, grace and power of an eight-person boat? This ones for you. Note that a prerequisite for joining our Recreational program is to have a sculling course under your belt - so if electing to take this stream, one must follow up minimally with a four hour sculling course. ($50) 2 instructors, max of 6 rowers.
Weekend Sculling Course - $250/person
A "boot camp" of sorts - two days of four hours each day. The focus is on sculling in quads, doubles, and singles (small boat use depending on weather conditions). 2 instructors, max of 6 rowers.
Group Learn to Row $200/person
Did you know that we can accommodate groups in our Learn to Row courses? A perfect team-building experience for any group from your office to your book club. Recruit seven other friends and the ringleader rows for free! Our dates are more flexible here - but do call us early to ensure space.
