“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 on Cayuga Lake at sunrise." – Jess McGee, Masters Rower
Adult Learn to Row
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.
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.
Schedule:
Classes are offered in three- week blocks with 2 practices/week with an AM and PM time slot.
Session 1: June 5 – June 22nd
Session 2: June 26 – July 14 (no sessions July 3rd and 4th – those sessions will be rescheduled by coach for a time later that week).
Session 3: July 17 – Aug 4
Session 4: Aug 7 – 25
Each session has two options for time slots:
Monday and Wednesday 5:45-7:30am
Tuesday and Thursday 6:30-8:15pm
Register here (select "Adult Learn to Row" and your session and time slot preference)
Fee: $160 for a 3 week session (6 classes total)
Unfortunately, we are not able to offer learn to row classes in the fall, as we never have enough coaches.
A few notes for all classes:
