NEXT LEARN to
ROW:
Saturday, June 28, 2008
10:30 AM - 1:30PM
The next Learn to Row
clinic will be 10:30am Saturday, June 28th, 2008, lasting until
around 1:30PM. The first half is dedicated to teaching the body
mechanics of the rowing stroke. This is accomplished using the ergometers (rowing machines) at the Newnan's Lake Boathouse. This is
not a strenuous workout; however you will do some exercise. Muscles
you don't normally use may come into play, so you may experience a
bit of soreness the next day.
The second half of class is held on the lake. You will go out in a
boat and put into practice what you learned earlier. Learners are
teamed up with an equal number of experienced rowers. We have found
this to be an effective and exciting way to give people a taste of
what rowing is all about.
Also included with each clinic are 2 additional coached rows, which
will be scheduled as "Open Novice Boats" thereafter. You must take
advantage of these 2 rows within 2 months of starting the clinic.
The cost of the whole package is $75 and is payable when you arrive
at the clinic. Please make checks payable to GAR.
What to wear?
Workout clothes that aren't too baggy. Bike-type shorts
work well. For the land portion of the clinic, you'll want to wear
tennis shoes. When we get in the boat you will need socks only, as
crew boats have built-in shoes to give the rower a stable platform.
(I can hear what you're thinking: yes, they ARE all one size!)
What to bring?
Definitely bring water, everything else is optional. You
might want to have sunglasses, sunscreen, hat, and insect
repellant. Don't forget your socks!
