Learn-to-Rows

For two weeks every month, the Waco Rowing Center hosts a “Learn-to-Row,” where participants learn the basics of the sport out on the water.

  • Open to all ages. We host learn-to-rows at separate times for youth and adults.
  • 3 practices a week for 2 weeks (exact timing dependent on participants’ schedules).

Participants are encouraged to sign up for a competitive program or for our membership upon successful completion of the Learn-to-Row!
