General Information About Learn To Row (LTR)
Mixed 8 rowers

River City Rowing Club (RCRC) is looking for individuals with a fair level of athletic ability, who would like to improve their conditioning through rowing and who welcome the challenges and rewards of this great team sport. The course is co-ed and is coached in a well-organized and non-competitive atmosphere.

Learn to Row is an annual 3-week program offered by RCRC to introduce the fundamentals of rowing to beginners with no rowing experience. Participants will experience sweep rowing in 8 person shells. Each session consists of 9 "on the water" classes in which rowers learn the technique and execution of the rowing stroke, as well as rowing commands, boat handling, and the intricacies of crew dynamics.

Because of the limited number of seats available and the dramatic learning curve, participants should register for the session in which they will be able to attend almost all of the practices. Attendance at the first practice is mandatory.

Beyond Learn To Row

After LTR, the next step is to become a member of RCRC and join the Novice Team. The team offers year-round development and training, access to the club's fleet of boats and rowing machines, a trailer for boat transport to regattas, and more.

LTR graduates receive a discount off their first year's membership. In addition to fun and fitness, many on the team compete in regional regattas which offer an exciting competitive outlet for your training. The first regattas that the Novice Team attends are in October, and are open to all team members.

Graduates of LTR form the Novice Masters Team, a combination of men and women committed to developing their rowing abilities. Beyond LTR, additional dues are needed to cover the cost membership, coaching, and entry fees for those who sign up for races.

Go to Masters Teams to see descriptions of the various RCRC teams.
