Try Rowing!We invite you to experience the joy of rowing with Wichita Rowing Association's coached rowing program. Participants will have 3 opportunities to row with club members on the Little Arkansas River. Our experienced coaches will be in a launch to provide safety and offer coaching and encouragement to everyone in the boat. Enroll here. |
Who Can Try RowingThe minimum age is 14. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent and bring a completed swim test. Because of equipment design limitations participants must weigh less than 250 pounds. Rowing is an active sport which requires lifting and carrying equipment, squatting, bending, and active aerobic movement. What to Bring / Wear

| Try Rowing: Cost: $75 for three sessions When: Monday and Thursday at 5:30 pm from May 8th through September 29th Three sessions to try out rowing and see if rowing is for you! Pick 3 days on Monday and/or Thursday evenings between May 5th and September 29th. After you enroll and pay the fee, please email our coach and let her know what days you plan to row. You will meet at the boathouse at 5:30 to work with our coaches and be integrated into boats with other members of Wichita Rowing. After 3 'Try Rowing' sessions, you may join the club and continue to participate in the coached rowing sessions on Monday and Thursdays. On the first day it's a good idea to show up a few minutes early to hand in your waiver and swim test, if applicable. |
