Youth Learn to Row (YLTR) uses the same curriculum as our Adult Learn to Row program, but is specifically tailored for high school aged rowers with no rowing experience. The class covers basic rowing technique in addition to safety practices, equipment care, and basic coxing. The class will use both on-land training on the ergometer and on-water training using the side-by-side training barge and 8-person rowing shell.

Class is held  Monday - Friday  from 12-2pm.

Regular attendance is highly encouraged, particularly during the beginning of each session, due to the cumulative nature of instruction.    Rowers graduating from the first YLTR session are encouraged to continue rowing with the Youth Technical Rowing program.  Fees are pro-rated for the remaining weeks of the summer. For questions or further information, please email info@a2crew.com. 

Comfortable workout clothing is best, however, baggy clothes, such as long shirts and jackets or baggy pants and shorts should be avoided, because they can get caught in the wheels under the seat.  The best rowing clothes are tight fitting, such as running tights or bike shorts.  Wear layers so that you can remove clothes as you heat up.  Synthetic, wicking  materials are most comfortable for the bottom layer next to your skin.  Gym shoes are ok early on when you are on land or on the barge.  After that, you'll just need socks, as there are shoes mounted in the racing shells. Shoes that slip off easily work best.

Rowing is a water sport & sometimes you get wet, so be prepared.  Toss a towel, extra socks and warm sweatshirt into your car or backpack.   Bring a bottle of water and wear sunscreen,  even in cool weather.     Class will meet rain or shine  -- if it's miserable the class will work on the rowing machines inside the boathouse.
