Learn to Row at Overpeck Lake

Learn to Row at Overpeck Lake with the New York Rowing Association. Over a course of 2 weeks, we will provide athletes ages 12-18 the opportunity to learn the basics of rowing over the course of 20 hours of instruction.  Athletes are welcome to sign up for as many sessions scheduled throughout the summer as they feel necessary. The goal is to provide a safe and fun environment where novices can learn about the basics of rowing. Participates will learn the essentials of rowing terminology, how to use the rowing equipment, safety rules and precautions, as well as the fundamentals of the rowing stroke and boat mechanics.  Successful completion of this program is a prerequisite for entry into the novice and competitive junior programs for grades 7th through 12th grades.

Participants MUST:

• Be between the ages 12-18.
• Be able to swim.
• Come attired appropriately in fitted clothing. T-shirts with tight arm holes and close fitted shorts, keeping in mind that the seats in the boat slide back and forth on a track so loose clothing can get caught and rip.
• Bring their own bottled water.  We would recommend 2-3 bottles per participant.
• Bring sunscreen/hat to protect against the sun.  Majority of the training will take place on the water with no available shade.

Cancellation Policy:

• There is no refund if we have to cancel a session due to weather, if there ate multiple cancellations we will setup weekend days or days in the following week that are most convenient for the rowers.

•  Private Learn to Row sessions one on one with the coach for $75 per hour are available.
