The Junior Learn to Row (LTR) course at Glebe Rowing Club is a great way to get out on the water and learn the sport. Rowing is an excellent cardiovascular workout for everyone.

In the first session, you will learn the basic rowing techniques on an indoor rowing machine, as well as, becoming familiar with our rowing shed and rowing boats. In further sessions you will be rowing on the beautiful Blackwattle Bay (unless the weather won’t allow doing so). You will join a team of learners and step by step we will teach you how to row.
