Learn to Row/Scull

In this introductory rowing program, rowers will kick off their enjoyment of a new sport in a friendly and supportive small-group environment. Sculling is a wonderful form of low-impact exercise and these sessions offer an exceptional opportunity for adults (18 and older) of all abilities to experience rowing in the waters surrounding Bair Island.

Learn to Scull is a "Level 1" introductory program that teaches sculling basics in six 2-hour sessions of coached training over two weeks. You will learn how to row in stable training singles (one-person per boat) and your teachings will include technique fundamentals, rowing terminology, safety practices, traffic patterns on our waterway, and navigating a 1x.

After completing two weeks (12 hours) of instruction, most participants have the skills and confidence to row safely on their own or with rowing buddies, outside of a class, or they may join a team or Level 2 class.
