You’ll become part of a crew and train together leading up to your first regatta.

Learn to Row
If you’d just like to test the waters, take our Community Learn to Row course.
You’ll learn the basics of the rowing stroke, how to safely handle all the equipment, and will be rowing merrily down the Swan in no time (hopefully all the way to Elizabeth Quay)!
If you’re at Uni or think you might want to race down the track, we recommmend Novice Rowing.
