National Learn to Row Day 2019

Bair Island Aquatic Center is proud to be part of National Learn to Row Day sponsored by USRowing and Concept 2. As part of this nationwide program, the BIAC boathouse will be open to anyone interested in learning how to row absolutely FREE OF CHARGE. Bring your friends!

Online registrants will have priority over walk-ins so be sure to register today. Your confirmation email will include a short form to submit to let us know what time you plan to come by.

Competitive and recreational rowers range in age from 13 to over 90, so it is never too early or too late to learn to row! No experience necessary, all fitness levels welcome. Ages 13+. Note: Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.


You will have an opportunity to learn boat handling, terminology, and fundamentals of the rowing stroke. After you spend some time on an erg (rowing machine) to get a feel for the different parts of the stroke, you'll get on the water in a rowing shell. (We’ll throw in a coach and a few experienced rowers to keep you safe).
