Spring is in the Air – but so is COVID-19!
The SRRA Board is still planning our summer activities and keeping an eye on the Governor’s plan for reopening WA. Learn to Row typically happens in late June or early July, so we are hopeful that we will be able to offer LTR classes. When they happen, our Learn to Row courses for 2020 will likely continue the model from the past few years, and will be comprised of classes that are 2-weeks long composed of four weekday classes and a Saturday morning session each week.
Registrants will pick the class that best fits their schedule (each class covers the same basic skills and includes both dry-land and on-water sessions). We had good success with this format and we hope this compressed format will be a better fit for participants busy summer schedules.
These summer sessions are for men and women (age 18 and older) who are interested in trying a new sport and adding a fun dimension to their summer schedule. If you are looking for junior rowing, please check with Coeur d’Alene Rowing at CDArowing.org.
Each two-week session will be made up of lessons on the ergometer (rowing machine) and on-the-water sessions in actual rowing shells! You will learn the basics of the rowing stroke as well as how to use the indoor machine to train on your own. Basic boathouse terminology and boat/oar handling skills will also be part of your experience and you will receive a free SRRA t-shirt.
