LEARN TO ROW THIS YEAR!  Our 2007 class begins June 2nd and meets Saturday and Sunday mornings for four weeks.  Enjoy the beauty of Lake Wequaquet while learning the basics of this fast-growing, total-body-workout sport.  Sign up now to reserve your spot!

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION  In 1988, Barnstable Rowing Club offered the first adult instructional rowing program on Cape Cod.  In 1994, BRC offered the first instructional program specifically designed to meet the needs of adult women.  Now, years later...and hundreds of participants later...women’s rowing is a major activity on Cape Cod, both recreationally and competitively. 

PARTICIPANTS  Our participants have ranged in age from mid 20s to late 60s, with the majority falling in the 35 to 45 range, and many in their 50s and 60s...one of our most avid rowers learned in her early 60s!

COST OF INSTRUCTION  Our program provides 16 hours of instruction with qualified coaches for $300.  Experienced instructors and low ratio of students to instructor encourage steady progress.  Upon completion, rowers may opt for membership in the BRC Masters Women’s Program through the end of the calendar year at no extra charge.  For more information about the Learn-to-Row Program, click here.

PREREQUISITES  Must feel comfortable in and on the water.
