Learn To Row

The Saskatoon Rowing Club (SRC) hosts Learn-to-Row courses that follow Rowing Canada's Journey 1-2-3 program, with classes starting in May and continuing each month through to September. The dates change from year to year (see program schedule of yearly events), but the format remains pretty much the same. The objectives of the LTR program are to:

· Introduce people of all ages to the sport of rowing

· Teach basic rowing techniques

· Teach basic boat handling and maintenance techniques


Journey I

The Journey 1 (Learn-to-Row) program involves 8 classes with 'dryland' and 'on the water' instruction in both training boats and racing sculls. Students will also have the opportunity to practice rowing with experienced club members. Both certified coaches and experienced club members teach the classes, with a safety boat on the water during all LTR sessions.

Due to the fast and dangerous river conditions, lessons are still occuring at an alternate "calm water" location.

 

Generally, sessions last for 1 to 1.5 hours with early morning and evening classes available.
