Join us on June 6 from 11-1 for National Learn to Row Day!  Open to the public aged 11+, we open up our boathouse in Duxbury to people who have always wondered, "what is rowing and why is it becoming such a popular sport?" Events will include: Land Rowing on our Rowing Machines or "ergs", taking strokes in our indoor rowing tanks, taking strokes on our dock – we'll put one of our boats in the water against the dock and our members will help guide you through the process of taking strokes.  You'll also discover a unique way to get out on Duxbury Bay!

Prerequisites: Learn to Row Level 1 and 2, Competent swimmer,

This course is for experienced rowers that are NEW to singles. For your personal safety it is important to be physically able to turn around and look over your shoulder to see behind you. These classes are designed for adults with fundamental rowing experience who would like a slightly slower pace than the regular Singles Sculling Classes. These courses will be run with a 2:1 student to coach ratio and the goal is to become familiar with the equipment, and steering. Our singles are stable and suitable for rowers who have one or more seasons of rowing experience. The expectation is that rowers will be independent enough after three lessons to work with our 2 student to 1 teacher ratio. If a participant needs or wants individual attention, we recommend private lessons or Learn to Row classes. In addition it is not uncommon to prefer to stay in this class due to the coaching ratio and enjoyment of the pace of the class.
