The Learn to Row courses run out of the boathouse in Victoria Park with sessions running weekday mornings, evenings and weekends. In Learn to Row, you will be provided with a clear understanding of the skills necessary to effectively and safely maneuver a single scull. You will learn the basic parts of a boat, the calls, safety guidelines and great rowing technique.
