Private sculling lessons for individuals or small groups of 2-4 persons

Our U.S. Rowing Association certified coaches have created a lesson package consisting of four sessions designed to teach you the basics of sculling or refresh your skill base.

Course description: Basic rowing technique, water safety and boat handling using a one-person sculling boat known as a single.

Private Lesson/Clinics Policy

Lessons are available in the form of:

1. a Learn to Row (LTR) clinic offered in April
2. summer camps
3. and LTR private lesson packages.   

Clinic participants wishing to continue rowing  may join the club and become seasonal members beginning the first week-end in May.  
     
Summer Camps typically run 4 days and  offer a wide variety of instruction from LTR through intermediate. Slots in camps and clinics are open to new rowers and current club members and are filled on a first come/ first served basis.  Non-members wishing to continue rowing after completion of a camp and upon recommendation of the instructor, may join the ongoing Green (novice) turnouts as a seasonal member.  New members must attend a club orientation and complete a swimming test. 

Private lessons are available from April 1 to October 1.  Lessons are four sessions for 1.5 hours each.  They are scheduled by the instructor with the client and are expected to be completed within 2 weeks of the start date.  Non-members completing the LTR private lessons may, with instructor approval,join the ongoing Green (novice) turnouts as a seasonal member.  They must attend a club orientation and complete a swimming test before joining the turnouts.  Please note that persons completing LTR Private Lessons after August 31 must wait until the following year to join the club and may attend the Learn to Row clinic, the following April, at no extra charge.

Seasonal memberships are available from May 1 through October 31.  The last day to start a seasonal membership is August 31.  New members are required to complete a swimming test and attend an orientation meeting.

Experienced rowers, new to the club, will be required to meet with an instructor for an evaluation at which time an appropriate level of membership will be suggested.  A swim test and orientation will be required for membership.
