ZLAC offers Learn to Row courses throughout the year. Rowers will have an opportunity to continue on to the ZLAC Juniors Program upon successful completion of the course.
For general inquiries about Junior rowing and Learn-to-Row classes, email us.
ZLAC Learn to Row Program
The program will consist of four or five sessions covering boat handling, water safety, and the fundamentals of rowing. Participants will be coached in small groups both on the water in boats and on indoor rowing machines. Attendance at the first session is required, and participants should plan to attend all sessions. For additional information, here’s a current flyer.
Before You Arrive
Wear athletic clothing, preferably shorts or spandex along with a T-shirt that you don't mind getting a little dirty/wet. Bring a hat, sunglasses, socks, and sneakers each day (the first day will be on the rowing machines known as 'ergs').
Completed waiver.
Bring a water bottle: plastic only, no stainless steel or metal flask type bottles as they damage the boats.
Apply sunscreen. Even though the first day will mostly be inside, sunscreen is important for the rest of the session.
Be sure to come with a good attitude! Rowing is the ultimate team sport and will be unlike anything you've ever tried. Get ready to have fun!
Who Should Attend?
Girls 8th-12th grade are welcome to sign up! Rowers must furnish written proof that they are water-safe and are able to swim/tread water in open water conditions. Please fill out the waiver before showing up at the first session.
Private Lessons & Other
If there are no upcoming camps listed below, please contact the Junior coordinator to get on the list so you're notified when the next one is scheduled. If you are a group of two or more, we will organize a semi-private Learn to Row for you.
Average fees for a junior learn to row session are $150-$275 depending on the time of year and number of participants expected. If siblings register, there is a discount.
