> Junior Rowing (High School Students)
Washington Rowing School and the Walter Johnson High School crew are jointly offering a summer rowing program for all high school students. This is a great opportunity to enjoy boating on these warm summer days with friends from different schools. There will be two separate groups, beginners and experienced rowers.
Beginners: Introduction to the sport including equipment handing, terminology, basic rowing stroke, safety, and the importance of teamwork. Participants will learn to sweep row in larger crew boats (eights and fours).
Intermediates: The goal is skill development and summer fun on the water. Participants will learn to scull in small boats. This will expand rowings skills, versatility, and responsibility by exposing rowers to differents types of boats.
Three 3-week sessions: June 23 - July 11, July 14 - August 1, August 4 - August 22. 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:00 - 12:00 noon Saturdays. Cost is $250 per 3-week session.
