Want to get a taste of rowing?

Now it is so easy for you to experience rowing!  On Saturday, June 2, as part of a nationally coordinated learn to row day, the Atlanta Rowing Club opens its doors and offers short clinics for free!  You can get an idea of what rowing is all about in just a few hours.

We invite you to experience the joy of rowing  -  meet at the Atlanta Rowing Club boat house Find Us for a brief instruction of the basics of rowing on one of our rowing machines.  Then, out to the river where you will take a seat and learn how to row on the water.  Our experienced coaches will guide you through every step of the way.

Participation is limited to rising 9th graders or older. Anyone below 18 must be accompanied by a parent.

We recommend comfortable, but not baggy, clothes.  Bring shoes that you can slip out of at the dock and an extra pair of socks.  Sunscreen, sunglasses and water bottles are always a good idea.  We may have to adjust the details of the program according to the conditions,but this is an outdoor sport and we will conduct the day in any weather except thunderstorms. 

Here is a 3 minute video summary of the 2010 day http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAvK-6Hd-p8
