This class is for those with little to no experience in rowing. Learning to row at Riverfront has never been easier, with all the Learn to Row (LTR) classes teaching both sweep and sculling. Depending on weather and river conditions, the class will begin with either sweep rowing or sculling and then transition to the other towards the end of the session. The goal of this new model is to give beginners a more comprehensive overview of both styles of rowing in a shorter period, allowing the participants to decide if they want to continue with sweep rowing or sculling after just one month of classes instead of two. After the initial LTR class, rowers will choose to take either the “intermediate sweep” or “intermediate sculling” class. Upon successful completion of either of the intermediate classes, rowers will move on to the next level of experienced sweep or experienced sculling. The minimum timeframe for completing both the beginner and intermediate sessions is two months, though some athletes may take longer depending on the rate of athlete development. Learning to row is a challenging yet rewarding, personal journey and we are here to guide you at a pace which is appropriate for you. Completion of this class is required to move to the next level. From college students to retirees, beginners to the very experienced, men and women of all ages and physical abilities can participate in Riverfront Recapture classes for beginning, intermediate and experienced rowers. Classes are offered in both large, team boats (sweep rowing) and smaller, individual boats (sculling) in spring, summer, and fall, and during the winter we train indoors. Financial assistance may be available to adult rowers. To inquire, contact Jonathan Near by email at jnear@riverfront.org.
