Learn to Row
—
Members and all participants must be 18 years or older (youth rowers should contact Mile High Rowing)
Our courses teach the basic rowing mechanics and essential boat management skills. These programs will be primarily taught in sweep boats (one oar per rower), with one session of sculling (two oars per rower) instruction also available. Upon completion, you may join our Novice-coached programs or even Club Squad in late summer and fall.
The cost of the sweep class is $150. The sculling class costs $100 and is reserved for people who have completed the sweep class or those who already know how to row sweep. Registration and payment are handled on BoathouseConnecct.com.
