Adult Learn to Row

FCRC welcomes people of all ages and abilities to get involved and try rowing. We run a 4 week learn to row (LTR) program for adults running on consecutive Sundays from 10am to 11.30am 

The cost of our 4 week course is $200. Those people who complete the course will then be invited to join the club with a $100 discount on Memebership and continue training in our development squad.

Registration and payments for the learn to row program are now available via the link belwo or alaternative dates through our website https://www.revolutionise.com.au/footscrayrowing/events/

Risks

Rowing is an outdoor water sport. It requires full body movement. Sometimes there is a current in the river, perhaps a strong wind, rain, or even a hot sun. We teach people in “tub” boats that are much safer than normal racing sculls. We will only permit LTR participants who can swim 50 metres.

What to Bring

We encourage you to wear tight fitting clothing such as a T-shirt and bike shorts. With the water reflecting the sun, please consider a hat and sunglasses. Thongs or flip-flops are appropriate footwear with a spare pair of socks to wear in the boat.

Please also bring a drink bottle and Ventolin or other medication if required.

What happens after LTR?

Following completion of the LTR program, rowers who chose to join the club are invited to join the Senior Development Squad. This Senior squad trains on Sunday mornings from 8:00am - 9:30am and also Tuesday & some Thursday evenings from 6:00pm - 7:30pm. The development squad builds on the basics taught during LTR and prepares rowers for integration into either the Senior or Masters competition squads.
