These courses will consist of 10 sessions during which you will learn the basics of the stroke, how to manoeuvre a boat, boat safety checks and you should gain confidence in using a range of boats. This will give you the skills for you to be able to enjoy participating in club rowing sessions, should you wish to join the club afterwards.
If you are unable to attend either of these courses, then come along to a club session on Sunday or Wednesday evening at 6pm and try rowing. If you like it and would like to continue you can learn during club sessions, with other beginners and improvers. We charge £2 per session and ask you to join the club after the third session (£7 per month for each remaining month March 2010; the new membership year starts April).
