Learn to Row
We hope you will join our Learn to Row Program this summer. Rowing is a great fitness sport, as well as a team sport you can enjoy at any age. Here are some details about the Program and how to submit your application.
CLASS SCHEDULE -- Rain or Shine, We ROW!
Classes consist of 12 lessons (1.5 hrs) over 3 weeks, meeting 4 times per week.
July 13-31, 2010: Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. and Saturday 7:15-8:45 a.m. (12 lessons)
Class Size: Maximum 20
Cost: $240
Submit application with payment by July 7, 2010 to 407 Roosevelt Drive, Oxford, CT 06483.
In case of rain, rowers will be on the water unless the coach determines that the conditions are a safety concern. Bring an extra set of clothes, if weather conditions indicate the potential for rain.
WHAT TO WEAR
Just a T-shirt, shorts, socks, and old sneakers or boat shoes will do. Shorts should be reasonably tight-fit (loose-fit can get caught in the boat’s sliding seats). Caps or visors, sun glasses, sun-screen, etc. are your choice. Socks are essential since the shoes in the boat are “communal” and remain permanently in the boat.
PARKING at the BOATHOUSE
Parking is readily available on the upriver side of the boathouse. No parking is allowed along Route 34 (Roosevelt Drive).
APPLICATION FORMS
1. Class Application Form – mail the completed form, along with a check for $240 payable to “New Haven Rowing Club”, to 407 Roosevelt Drive, Oxford, CT 06483, marked to “Attention, LTR Coordinator”. Space is limited and your check secures a place on the waiting list. If we cannot fit you in to this year’s class, we will refund your payment.
2. Swim Test Form - bring the signed form to the first class (keep a copy for your records). You may take the test at our dock prior to the first class. We recommend taking it at a local YMCA or health club. The YMCAs are very obliging, but they ask you to call ahead to arrange a time. Our safety rules require this test.
3. Waiver Form – you can sign this form when you arrive at the first class.
