ADULT LEARN TO ROW
We offer a 10-session Learn to Row course for adults in April and May. It is the perfect introduction to the sport and is the first requirement for joining our Competitive Masters or Recreational Masters teams – unless you have prior rowing experience.
In Learn to Row, we’ll go over the basics of sweep rowing, safety, technique, terminology, equipment, and much more. We’ll begin on the indoor rowing machine, then progress onto the water. This is a unique opportunity to improve your health, make new friends, and spend quality time at beautiful Creve Coeur Lake. Once you have completed the Learn to Row program, you can become a member of our Adult Intermediate team, where you can continue to hone your rowing skills.
All Learn to Row sessions are currently just $295. Included in your LTR course fee is the ability to row as a member of our adult Intermediate Master’s Crew for approximately 5 additional months! This enables you to further refine your skills at no additional cost. Click the registration link below to see additional information about the classes and schedule.
After completion of your LTR session, you automatically become a member of our Intermediate Master’s Team.
2026 Sessions Open for Registration
This year, we will hold two sessions. The first will be start late March and run through mid April and the second will start in late April and run through May.
Specific dates for the classes are listed within the programs.
New this year, St. Louis Rowing Club will be joining the more than 40+ clubs across the US as we pilot a survivor rowing program. The details of this program are still being finalized but if you would be interested in rowing along with fellow survivors, you can register your interest for the August class. Please note that you can do both! If you want to start this spring, sign up for an April/May class and then join up with your fellow survivors when the program starts in August!
Also, as you are aware, these classes fill quickly! We also have a wait list for future classes if you are unable to attend one of our posted options. Our wait list will receive advanced notice of future class offerings.

INTERMEDIATES
The Intermediates team is for adult novices who have completed the Learn to Row course. On this team, rowers will keep building upon the foundational skills they have learned. Practices are four days a week, and members are welcome to come to one or all practices. While there is no attendance requirement, consistency leads to the quickest progress. Intermediates have the option to attend regattas and race in the novice division. It is up to the coaches to determine how long a rower stays an Intermediate. Most rowers are on this team approximately one year before graduating up to the Competitive Masters or Recreational Masters teams.

All new this year, we will be piloting a Learn-to-Row session specifically for cancer survivors! Our Arch-Oars Cancer Survivor Learn-to-Row program is an introductory rowing experience.

Details (exact dates, cost, etc.) are still being finalized, but while we work that out, you can register your interest here:
The Survivor Rowing Network was launched in 2023 with a simple goal: provide opportunities for patients and survivors of all cancers to find strength, joy, confidence and community through rowing.
