LEARNING TO ROW
WITH Y.C.R.C.
Rowing is a fun and satisfying way to improve health,
fitness and strength. Some regard the sport as a way of getting fit, others get
fit to improve their performance.
Rowing is a sport which can be either a competitive or
recreational. Rowers can either be part of a crew and experience team activity,
or enjoy the skills of single sculling.
York City Rowing Club likes to welcome all who wish to
learn to row. The only stipulation is that you are in good health and can swim
at least 50 metres in light clothing and shoes.
Our Learn to Row courses will be
held this summer beginning on Monday 25th August.
There will be three, twice weekly
courses over a period of five weeks.

The
courses are designed for adult beginners both male and female to give an
enjoyable introduction to the sport and physical activity of rowing. You
will have the opportunity to learn basic sculling skills on indoor rowing
machines and on the water as well as learning about safety awareness and
care of equipment.

At the
end of the course you will be able to continue rowing/sculling by applying
to join the Club and you will be advised of opportunities for progression as
a recreational activity or through competition.
|
|
|
You
can wear normal sports clothes – not too tight or too loose. In cold weather
a warm hat and several layers of clothing can be worn so that some can be
removed if need be as you warm up during the activity. Please always bring a
change of clothes and a towel.
|
|

A charge of £75 (cheques to "York City Rowing Club")
is payable when booking. This is not refundable except on cancellation of
the course by the Club.
In the event of flooding or adverse conditions the Club will either
provide an indoor programme or postpone that and subsequent sessions by one
week.

If you
apply to join the Club at the end of the course, £25 of your course fee will be
credited against the cost of your first year’s subscription.

The
Club is responsible for control, safety and discipline on the course and
reserves the right to change, terminate or cancel any course or to expel any
course member.

The
cancellation of any course by the Club shall not give rise to any claim for

of the course fee, calculated on a weekly basis.

Rowing
activities on the water and its associated training can be performed safely
