The Learn to Row Programme is designed to give students a taste of what rowing is all about.

Students will be taken through training sessions on and off the water. These sessions will include equipment familiarisation, rowing techniques, fitness training, rowing machine (erg) training etc. 

There are five sessions and you are welcome to come to as many as you want to. All sessions are held out of the Otago Boys’ High School Rowing Club, Magnet Street, Dunedin. Sessions are from 7am to 10am (the early start is because we need to be on the water before the wind picks up). 

Most boys wear a tee-shirt and shorts, thermal top/hoody, socks and a hat. A pair of scuffs are useful for taking the boats down the ramp.

Session 1 - 10 September

Session 2 – 11 September

Session 3 – 17 September

Session 4 – 18 September

Session 5 – 25 September

Please advise Debby (obsrowing@gmail.com) which sessions your son wants to come to and confirm that he can swim 200m.
