Weekly sessions begin June 13 and end August 5.

The program is designed for young people looking to experience the sport of rowing, gain foundational technical skills, and enjoy beautiful Lake Merced in a fun and encouraging environment. Each session will focus on safety, proper body mechanics and basic physical conditioning, boat handling, terminology, warm-up and warm-down skills, and the essential building-blocks of the rowing stroke. The more weeks each participant utilizes, the greater the skill development will be.
