Harlem River Community Rowing is offering four summer sessions of learn-to-row classes. Participants will get approximately 18 hours of hands-on training in rowing fundamentals.

Classes can accommodate people at most fitness levels and ages, from the late teens and up. It’s mandatory for safety reasons, however, that you are a competent swimmer. After completing all classes, you'll have the skills needed to join the Harlem River Community Rowing novice program.

Four sessions, each consisting of eight classes, will be held on weekend mornings from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., and weeknights from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. There is still time to sign up for July, August, September, and October sessions. The cost is $150 per person (reduced fees are available for participants who qualify). Practice takes place on the Harlem River at Roberto Clemente State Park, Bronx (a 15 minute walk from the 176th Street 4 train subway stop. Directions on website).

If interested, contact learn-to-row coordinator Jenny at jenny@harlemrivercr.org as soon as possible.
