Junior Learn to Row Program - Summer 2026

Grades 8 - 12

Junior Learn to Row classes are a great opportunity to acquire new skills, try out a fascinating sport, improve conditioning...and have a huge amount of fun in the process. RCRC’s Junior Learn to Row program is designed for teens in grades 8 through 12 with no rowing experience, introducing the fundamentals of sweep rowing in team boats or sculling in smaller boats. Additional program information on RCRC website.

Frequently Asked Questions
  • Swim Test: Participant must take a swim test on the first day. Teens who cannot complete the test but demonstrate basic swim skills are welcome in the class and will wear a PFD (provided by RCRC) when in a boat.
  • Attendance: Attendance at the first two practices is mandatory. Because of the dramatic learning curve, participants who miss more than one practice may need to take a second LTR class before joining a Team class
  • Program Progression: Join a Jr Learn to Row Team class: the JLTR Team class expands on the fundamentals introduced in JLTR and allows new rowers the opportunity to spend more of the summer rowing.
  • Competitive Rowing Sept. - May: Information on RCRC’s competitive Junior Rowing Team will be shared in Aug. and JLTR participants are invited to try the Junior Novice Team, starting in early Sept. No rowing experience is needed!
