ADULT LEARN-TO-ROW PROGRAMS
LEARN-TO-ROW 101
New to rowing? Hanlan’s Learn-to-Row program is for you. In our six-hour, two-day Learn-to-Row 101 course, you’ll learn the basics of rowing technique, boat handling, water safety, and working together as a crew. Our 101 program focuses on sweep rowing, which requires each rower to hold onto one oar and work with a crew to move the boat forward.
Lifejackets, safety, and rowing equipment provided by Hanlan Boat Club.
