* Use our indoor rowing machines to simulate our workouts and familiarize yourself with correct rowing technique
* Learn some terms and phrases associated with rowing
* Receive instruction on proper boat and equipment handling
* Be part of a crew and take a tour of Creve Coeur Lake in a real rowing shell – experience rowing for yourself!
Upcoming 2012 Workshop dates

If you cannot meet this requirement, you may still go on the water in one of our coaching launches wearing a life preserver (pfd). Due to the nature of rowing, it is not possible to row while wearing a pfd.

SLRC was blessed with beautiful weather as we hosted our annual Juniors regatta on Saturday, April 7. High school rowers came from Wisconsin, Illinois, Kansas & Oklahoma to compete, and STL Post-Dispatch photographer Chris Lee was there to capture some of the action that you can view at his photo gallery. More photos from unofficial SLRC shutterbug Charles are also on line here.
Thanks to all our fabulous volunteers who shared their time and talents, and kudos to the LOC for their stellar organizing. Great job, everyone! |
