Learn to Row
UQBC is looking at possibly running another 2024 Learn to Row Programme.
Please keep in touch with us through our website (at info@uqbc.org ) and social media and we hope to be able to assist you soon.
For those with no experience, the Learn to Row program is a comprehensive introduction to the sport of rowing.
An eight week learn to row program with two sessions per week.
The sessions will be taken by experienced coaches and will cover the basics of rowing technique and safety.
All LTR sessions will be conducted in coxed boats providing an opportunity for participants
to learn both sweep and sculling technique.
At the end of the eight-week program, participants will have a general idea about rowing.
The UQBC Intermediate Program is available as the next level for participants who have successfully completed the LTR program.
You must be a minimum of 15 years old to participate in the Learn to Row program.
Email info@uqbc.org to register your interest for the Learn to Row and/or have any queries in relation to the program.
