“Fourteen years ago, a friend and I took a learn to row class on a whim. Today, rowing has become a significant part of our fitness regime. Nothing is more beautiful than rowing down Cayuga Lake at sunrise." – Jess McGee, Masters Rower
CBC offers learn-to-row classes during the summer for adults over 18 years of age. This program is a fun introduction to the sport of rowing and covers all aspects, including equipment, water safety, rowing technique, and boat handling. The focus of learn to row is developing skills to become a life long rower.
Adult classes are courses geared to the newcomer with little or no rowing experience. However, experienced sweep rowers are encouraged to join these classes to learn to scull and progress into a racing single to pass the captain's test. These fast-paced classes provide an introduction to the sport.
The programs focus on small sculling boats with each rower using two oars. Rowers will learn the basics in stable training individual boats, which we call singles. As rowers get comfortable with rowing, they will progress up to a speedy, racing single. Sculling programs teach rowers to be independent so they can eventually take a boat out on their own after they pass the captain's test. Rowers typically need to enroll in multiple classes to become proficient enough to pass the captain's test.
What to bring:
Ages: Age 18 and up
Fee: $200
Schedule:
Classes are in three week sessions either weekday evenings or weekends.
Weeknight Session: Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday 6-8pm
Weekend Session: Saturday/Sunday 9-11am
Starts July 6th through August 21st
