Come along and give rowing a try with Jindabyne Rowing Club. If you are a complete beginner, or curious about rowing, then this 90min session is the perfect pathway before you launch into our Learn to Row programs.

The session includes:
- Coaching on the correct technique on stationary rowing machines (ergs).
- Correct oar handling for sculling (two oars)
- How to get in and out of a boat safely (water entry)
- On water session to help translate your technique into a boat.

On water sessions will be quads and/or doubles, and if you show a natural ability then we have some very stable singles! A coaching boat will be out on the water, with other JRC members assisting. Weather may affect the day, but we will monitor conditions and adjust as required for safety.

 

Requirements :
Participants must be able to complete a 100m swim test if requested. Minimum age required for this session 16 years old with parents’ consent.

 

Cost:
Jindabyne Rowing Club is offering this session free of charge. While you are covered by Rowing NSW for ‘Come and Try’ sessions we highly recommend that every attendant join Rowing NSW as a recreational member for training sessions with Jindabyne Rowing Club. For just $30, membership gives you peace of mind when training with the club, and it will also be a minimum requirement for any future sessions, or the clubs learn to row programs.
