Learn to Row
Learn-to-Row 2020 Course Information
This 4-session course is intended for high school students, years 9 – 12, who may be interested in rowing as a summer sport and would like to try it out. Even better, can you get some school friends together and learn to row as a crew? We start new rowers in quad sculling boats (4 rowers and a coxswain).
Course Programme
The course will be held at the Rotorua Rowing Club (Water Sports Trust Building, Rotorua Lakefront) over 4 days at the end of the Term 2 school holidays (Thur 16th, --Sun 19th July). The daily sessions will run from 8:00am– 11:00am. The early start is required to obtain good water conditions.
Pre-registration is Required
Use the form below to pre-register, so we have your details and contact information for you and your parents.
What to Wear
As the mornings will be cool, warm clothing is required. Shorts or leggings plus thermals or sweat shirts/hoodies are fine but avoid baggy or loose-fitting clothes which can get it the way when rowing. Avoid sweatshirts with pockets in the front if possible. Also bring socks and running shoes, as we start you off on an indoor rowing machine and these fit in the footplate. The socks are also worn in the rowing boats.
Snack Food
Bring some snacks and a water bottle to keep you energised during the 3-hour session!
Cost
There is no cost for this course.
