Learn to Row
Add yourself to the wait list here
Learn to Row classes are designed for the complete beginner and typically run April through September each year. Classes emphasize safety, rowing technique and individual fitness. Special equipment is not required -– just bring typical workout clothes. Class members learn to row in single person pontoon singles. Our classes are 2 hours long and have a class size of 4-5 students.
Graduates of the Learn to Row sculling class are eligible to join the club and continue to build their skills in the supportive environment of our beginner group.
All participants in Station L Learn to Row classes must become “Basic” members of the US Rowing Association ($15.00/year) and complete a declaration of swimming ability. Instructions for purchasing the Basic USRowing membership and completing the swimming ability declaration can be found here.
General Information About Classes:
On absences: We recognize that people have many demands on their time and that not all students will be able to attend all classes within a course session. If you cannot attend all classes, talk with your instructor so they can give you pointers on how to catch up. There is no way to “make up” missed sessions, but if you only miss a class or two you should be fine. If for some reason we must cancel a class, we will offer the option of a make up class after the session or a refund for that class.
Refund Policy: Station L class sizes are balanced carefully to ensure an appropriate number of participants in each session. If you cancel your registration 5 or more days before class begins you will receive a full refund, after which time you can receive a credit if we can fill your spot before the class starts. After the first class meeting, no refunds or credits are available.
Wait List: If the class you wish to take is full, you can sign up for the wait list here.
If you have already signed up for the waitlist, but haven’t heard anything from Staiton L Staff, don’t worry! Your name is still on the list, and we will contact you when you near the top. Thanks for your patience.
