The CRI Learn to Row experience introduces boys and girls ages 12-18 to the fundamentals of sweep rowing in our training catamarans here on the Charles River. The basic elements of the rowing stroke are covered along with rowing terminology, equipment handling, physical well-being, hydration, diet, flexibility and core strength. Learn to Row is an introductory non-competitive course, where new rowers have a chance to try the sport in a fun and safe environment.
