Rowing is a great sport for any age. The West Side Rowing Club is a great place to learn how to row, no matter your experience, age, or physical fitness. In our Learn-To-Row program we offer a two-hour introductory class.

Each class begins with a short instructional video, instruction on proper warm-up and stretching, rowing technique for sweep rowing, how to handle boats on and off the water, rowing terminology, and teamwork skills. We utilize our indoor rowing machines (ergs), our 10-seat INDOOR rowing tank, and our on-the-water training boats to introduce all participants to the sport of rowing.

NOTE: Rowers are requested to arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of their session. All sessions will begin with a short introductory PowerPoint Presentation and Safety Review. On-water activities for all lean to row sessions are dependent on weather, number of participants, and time constraints.
