Learn to Row

Jacksonville is a river city with great weather year around.  What better way to enjoy this setting and get a great workout than to row on its rivers!  Jacksonville Rowing Club provides our community with the tools and opportunity to learn to row.  Rowing is well-known for providing a full body, no-impact workout.

 JRC Learn to Row Program
JRC’s Learn to Row Program is designed for the beginner.  We teach you the essentials of rowing in a small class environment.  No prior rowing experience is necessary.  By the end of this 20-hour course, you will have firsthand experience of what rowing is about. 
 
The month long course provides 20 hours of instruction on Saturday and Sunday mornings from 9:15 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.  Classes are for adults only.  Young adults are encouraged to join our Youth program.
 
The cost for the course is $100. It includes instruction, equipment, and insurance.   
 
The course is designed for novices, but people interested in returning to rowing after a long absence might also find the course helpful.
 
Prerequisite: Proficiency in swimming.  You are required to know how to swim and be comfortable in the water.
 
Class is limited to 16 participants, so sign up to reserve your spot.
