Learn to Row

Our second Learn To Row course of 2023 is currently in session. Each Learn To Row course has multiple sessions and covers the basics of fun and safe rowing. No experience is necessary. After successful completion of Learn To Row you will be able to participate in the novice/intermediate recreational rows. Our next Learn To Row course will be in 2024. Email us at info@harlemrivercr.org to ask to be added to the 2024 LTR email list so you will receive updates on registration for the 2024 courses. 

Rowing is a highly technical sport. Learn To Row classes cover safe equipment handling and terminology, as well as the fundamentals of an efficient rowing stroke and how to work with everyone else in the boat effectively.

Requirements:

• In addition to the requirements listed under Rower Resources, participants of Learn To Row will have to commit to attend ALL classes in the series (NO EXCEPTIONS).

• HRCR warmly welcomes everybody and most fitness levels, but in order to safely participate in Learn To Row, participants will need to be able to swim, do a squat and lift 30 lbs. overhead. If you have doubts about these fitness requirements, please contact us at info@harlemrivercr.org.

• An HRCR community member prepared information on available swimming lessons in NYC (as of Spring 2022). Information is in the pdf below.
