ADULT LEARN TO ROW


Do you want to try rowing?

Rowing is a wonderful sport for fun and fitness for people of all ages. Row New York offers learn to row classes for adults in late spring and summer on the Harlem River in Upper Manhattan and on Meadow Lake in Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens.

In Manhattan, at our Peter Jay Sharp Boathouse, you will be introduced to rowing at our intensive weekend sessions before graduating to our longer enhanced sessions. At Meadow Lake, in our introductory class Learn to Row Level I, you will learn the basic rowing stroke on indoor rowing machines then practice rowing on our on-water training barges. Continuing on with Level II and III, you will move from barge rowing to competitive racing shells.

Class fees cover the cost of the course and support Row New York’s free programs for NYC’s under-served youth. Your fee covers:

• A multiple-class series
• All equipment (boats, oars, barges, and rowing machines)
• Experienced coaches

 

MANHATTAN

We offer two adult learn to row courses at the Peter Jay Sharp Boathouse. Our Intensive Learn to Row Weekends are two-day programs running from 7 am to 10 am on Saturdays and Sundays. Participants will learn the basics of sweep rowing and quickly gain a working knowledge of the sport. These sessions prepare participants for our longer sessions where mastery on the water is acquired. Cost is $100. Times and registration links are in the drop-down menu below.

Our Learn To Row Long Sessions allow new rowers to take their skills to the next level. In these four-week, eight-session programs, participants will enhance their technique and practice their new skills. The prerequisite for these programs is one of our intensive weekend sessions. These programs run on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. Cost is $320. Times and registration links are in the drop-down menu below.
