Adult Learn-to-Row Program

Rowing encompasses so many benefits — fitness, socializing, recreation, and competition — and guess what it’s never too late to start.  

Swan Creek Rowing Club’s popular Learn-to-Row (LTR) program is the starting point for anyone interested in the sport. Participants are taught all the fundamentals of the stroke and are introduced to the basic skill set used to coordinate movements within the boat. Emphasis is on learning in a fun, pressure-free environment.
