Learn to Row
WRRA LEARN TO ROW PROGRAM
Learn to Row is a comprehensive instruction session for adults without prior rowing experience. This is the first step in joining the rowing community and a required first step for participation in WRRA’s Summer or Fall Rowing Leagues. It is a welcoming, one day introduction by experienced WRRA instructors who will teach you all the basics of the sport of rowing.
