Learn to Row
The Learn to Row courses run out of the boathouse in Victoria Park with sessions running weekday evenings. More courses and times may be offered throughout the summer based on interest. In the 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.
