No matter where they end up, every rower starts off in the same place… that is the beginning.
We have several coaches at the Mosman Rowing Club that are very experienced at teaching people how to row.
The club runs a Learn To Row Program, which covers, over the course of a month, all of the basics required to be able to row. The program is suitable for ages, all fitness levels and all sizes. Doing the Learn To Row program is a perfect way to meet some of the existing club members, and also other people just like you who are interested in joining the club and doing some rowing.
Generally these programs run in the winter and spring, and there are limited spaces which fill up fast. In 2008 the program will run in June, July and August. Please contact Simon Hoadley if you are interested in when the next available course will be run.
The program would be a perfect starting point for anyone interested in getting involved at Mosman Rowing Club.
The rowing stroke is the key to mastering the sport. Here is a great document from Warwick University on rowing technique: technique.pdf [pdf, 308kb].
