OTW Session 4
Learn-to-Row — 5 Weeks (11/19–12/23) Mon, Sat
Intended for those with no previous rowing experience. Participants will learn the basics of the rowing stroke on ergs and in the tanks.
Experienced Sweep — 5 Weeks (11/19–12/23) — Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat, Sun
Intended for all rowers with previous on-the-water experience.
Sculling — 5 Weeks (11/19–12/23) — Fri, Sun
Experienced sculling plus learn-to-scull. Space is limited. We can accommodate a couple of learn-to-scull participants in each class — must have a full season of on-the-water rowing.
Virtual Erg — 5 Weeks (11/19–12/23) — Tue
Erg classes over Zoom. Links will be posted on the session doc. If you don’t have an erg at home, RBC has a few available for a modest rental fee (contact harry@rochesterboatclub.org). Joining from an erg at a gym has worked for some rowers. Classes will work on both technique and strength/fitness.
We might be able to add another class if there is demand for it.
“Register to Sub/Single Row”
Use the following $0 product to register to sub or to do single rows if not registered for a class.
Register to sub [RegSub]
$0.00
If you are not able to commit to a class for the current session, but would like to volunteer to sub, or to do approved make-ups from a previous session, please use this product to ‘register’, so we can make sure you are properly waivered. Subbing is contingent on coach approval, and does not guarantee that you will be boated.
Single Rows
Single rows are available to experienced rowers. Add your name to the tab for the class(es) you would like to attend, noting ‘SR’ after your name. The coach/DRC will boat you if there is space for you in the class.
