Adult Learn to Row
MRC welcomes adults who would like to get a sense of the beauty and camaraderie that can be found rowing in the heart of the Twin Cities. This class offers 6 hours of instruction on land and on the water including basics of the rowing stroke and how to handle the rowing equipment. Upon completion of Learn To Row, participants may become MRC members and continue rowing with our Adult Novice Team.
MRC strives to offer programs that meet or exceed public health and social distancing guidelines. We strongly recommend participants be fully vaccinated, however at this time, it is not required.

Class Outline
