Learn to Row
The Learn to Row(LTR) program was introduced in October 2010 to allow rowers who had never rowed before the experince of rowing in the same shells used in the historic Royal St. John's Regatta. It's introduction last fall proved to be successful for both the first timers and also for those who had rowing experience and wanted to get back on Quidi Vidi Lake for a "spin". The fall LTR was offered 3 times per week at no chrage to the participants.
The Royal St. John’s Regatta Committee in partnership with Chevron Canada Limited will run a Learn to Row Program and a Fall Rowing Program again this fall from September 7 to October 15. The program will run for five weeks on:
• Wednesdays from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM
• Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
The Learn to Row Program is open to individuals and crews of any age wishing to learn how to row. Coxwains and training are provided. There is no fee! Experienced Regatta crews are also invited to row during these sessions. Beats training on an erg!
