Rowing has become one of the fastest growing sports in America. It’s
fast, exciting, and anybody can participate. If you’ve always wanted
to try this sport, then this program is for you. Depending on class
size, participants will row in an 8-person shell (did you know these are 60’
long?) and will learn all the basics of rowing: boat handling, how to
perform the rowing stroke, and safety procedures. This is truly the
“ultimate team sport”.
The first two classes of the Learn to Row Session will be held at the
Pittsford Indoor Rowing Center, located at 2800 Clover Street, Pittsford,
14534. The on the water sessions will be held at the Genesee Waterways
Center at 149 Elmwood Ave.
The rower is seated next to a tank with his/her oar resting in the
water. As the rowers slide through the stroke, the oar catches and pulls
through the water in the tank. Wear sneakers and close-fitting clothes that
will not get caught in the seat.
Please bring a water bottle. A signed liability waiver (one per
calendar) must be completed in order to row.
After you complete your Novice Session, check out the dates for
Recreational Rowing!
The Genesee Waterways Center reserves the right to cancel any class if
the minimum number of participants is not met. Minimum Rowers: 8
Maximum Rowers: 16.
There will be no refunds unless a sickness or injury occurs
within the first two weeks. Refunds must be promptly requested. A $50
administrative fee will be deducted from the refund. There will be no
credits for missed classes
