About the Learn to Row Program 

Gold Coast Master Rowers runs a structured Learn to Row program spanning 6 sessions.

The sessions will typically run for 90 minutes and will be as follows:

Session 1: (please arrive 10 minutes before)
Involves the basic rowing stroke with correct sequencing shown on a rowing machine and the basic blade work done in a single scull held by an instructor or in a crewed boat. This lasts about forty minutes. 

Session 2: 
Involves going out in a crewed boat on the water with an instructor to reinforce the basic rowing stroke with correct sequencing & blade work.

Sessions 3-6:

Are conducted on the lake in larger boats with experienced rowers.

Small Print!
You are allowed one make-up session if you cannot make any of the above dates for personal reasons. If a lesson is cancelled by the Rowing Club due to weather or for any other reason additional make-up sessions will be arranged.
