Learn to Row


Balmain Rowing Club conducts "Learn to Row" courses twice a year. Generally these courses are held in March/April and September/October.
The courses are conducted at our club house on Sunday mornings and last for nine weeks. They normally start around 8.00am and run for about two hours.
Each course is limited to a maximum of 16 participants ensuring that the pupil/teacher ratio is never greater than 4/1. To take part you need to be a minimum of 14 years of age, be able to swim and be healthy enough to participate in moderate to hard physical exercise.
