Experience Rowing Through Learn to Row!You can get an idea of what rowing is all about in just one morning, however to obtain balance, comfort and the rhythm of rowing it takes time on the water. Classes run from late spring into early fall. We invite you to experience the joy of rowing with Wichita Rowing Association's instruction on the basics. First, practice on the rowing machine. Then, out to the river where you will practice sculling on dock rowers and take a seat in a boat to learn how to scull on the water. Our experienced coaches will guide you through every step of the way. |
What to Expect:Volunteers will be on hand to walk you through the each step.
Who can join?The minimum age for participation is 14. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent. | Where?The Riverside Rowing Center is located at South Riverside Park, 531 Nims Street, Wichita, KS 67203 (next to Tennis Center) |
Class Type: Intro To Rowing Cost: $30 A 2-hr intro just to get your toes wet (no pun intended) and see what our rowing program is all about. Whether wanting a fun way to stay active or something more competitive, rowing is an awesome outdoor activity for all ages. However, it does take some movability to get in and out of a boat, so this class is a neat way to learn a little about rowing and whether it's a new activity for you!

What you need before you row: Before you're able to row please process the paperwork done before the class begins. We will need for you to sign a waiver and have a paper copy of a swim test so it's good to show up a few minutes early the first day to any class.
What To Wear?We recommend comfortable, but not baggy, athletic clothes. And shoes that you can slip in and out of at easily on the dock.CancellationsCancellation due to weather WRA makes every effort to provide you with a safe and enjoyable class at the planned time.
