| Summer Adult Learn-to-Row Classes |
|
An introduction to the sport of rowing by the St. Louis Rowing Club for men and women of all ages. Class sessions are available each summer in June, July and August. Each session includes ten lessons spread out over a month. In this class, you will be introduced to:
Benefits of rowing • Building strength • Teamwork • Fitness • Correct rowing technique • Boathouse and facilities • Equipment used in rowing • Proper boat and equipment handling
Instruction begins with a brief history, tour and discussion of rowing terminology, technique, and safety. After learning the basics of the rowing stroke on an indoor rowing machine, you will get “hands-on” experience in an eight person shell. Following a brief lesson at the dock, you will push off and head out to open water. Lessons will then be focused on proper body position and movement, building boat speed, and working together as a crew. This is a unique opportunity to improve your health, make new friends, and spend quality time at beautiful Creve Coeur Lake.
Please download the registration flyer for more details and to register by mail, or you may register using PayPal below. Your summer Learn-To-Row tuition includes complimentary membership in the club for the remainder of 2009, once you have completed the class.

As described by Martin Crotty of row2k:
"This is the first medal for the US in this event since winning gold in Brandenburg in 2005. The crew of Ian Silveira (Princeton '12), Tyler Nase (Lasalle '09), Nick Jordan (Harvard '12), Tom Dethlefs (Yale '12), Brian Wettach (St. John's '09), Justin Hopkins (UW '12), Ivan Lys-Dobradin (Winter Park '09), Cameron Klotz (St. John Vianney '09) and Keenan Clark (SJ Prep '09) got off the line very well and was right with the leader, Germany, through the 500m mark."
