Rowing lessons
We teach introductory adult sculling lessons. These are private and semi-private lessons that may be flexibly scheduled and are taught late March through October. The student must know how to swim.
Contact the Boathouse Lessons Coordinator for detailed information.
Imagine a sport that…
- Can be mastered by anyone, regardless of gender, age or size
- Uses more of your muscle mass than running, cycling, swimming and as much of your muscle mass as cross-country skiing
- Gives you a total body strength workout while performing a cardiovascular/endurance workout (no more weight room?)
- Burns significantly more calories per hour than anaerobic threshold swimming, cycling, or running, and also develops balance and rhythm
- Is totally non-impact
- Doesn’t mess up your hair
- Can be performed at an easy cruise, at an anaerobic pace that you simply can’t maintain, or at any intensity in between
- Feels cooler than running or cycling at the same ambient temperature
- You can enjoy year-round in virtually any weather
- Has competitive opportunities if you are so inclined
- Can be performed any time, day or night, with no fear of being hit by a car, a cyclist, or a rollerblader, and with no threat of being chased by a dog
- If you crash, you cool off. No road rash or broken body parts
- You can enjoy while wearing a big straw hat to keep the sun off
- You perform in such a beautiful and tranquil venue that you are totally relaxed at the end of the toughest workout
- Looks really cool
- Is totally addictive
