About this event

Learn to Scull

Instructors will demonstrate basic proper technique geared to teach participants to use single and double scull shells for unaccompanied use. Participants will learn how to adapt a sweep rowing stroke to a sculling stroke and how to safely maneuver sculling equipment unassisted both on land and in the water. Additional instruction on how to re-enter capsized craft from the water will be provided. Individual ability levels vary; participation in this course may not necessarily result in qualification to use AARC equipment for unaccompanied use at the conclusion of the class.

Registration

Reservation in specific LTS class is granted based on a first-come, first-served basis. Receipt of completed registration form and payment reserves space in class. Classes that are not full may not be run.

PLEASE NOTE: All participants are required to attest that you can swim. Participants under the age of 18 must complete the Youth Swim Test and bring documentation to the first class.

Class Schedule

W1 Saturday 7:30 to 10:30 Land training / Flip Test/ Double Sculls and/or Single Sculls

W1 Sunday 7:30 to 10:30 Single/Double Sculls

W2 Sat/Sun 7:30 to 10:30 Single/Double Sculls

A 30 minute break is included each day. Please pack extra water/fluids and a snack.

What to Bring & Wear

Comfortable workout clothing is best, however, baggy clothes, such as long shirts and jackets or baggy pants and shorts should be avoided, because they can get caught in the wheels under the seat. The best rowing clothes are tight fitting, such as running tights or bike shorts. Wear layers so that you can remove clothes as you heat up. Synthetic, wicking materials are most comfortable for the bottom layer next to your skin. Gym shoes are ok early on when you are on land or on the barge. After that, you'll just need socks, as there are shoes mounted in the racing shells. Shoes that slip off easily work best.

Rowing is a water sport & sometimes you get wet, so be prepared. Toss a towel, extra socks and warm sweatshirt into your car or backpack. You might want a warm hat. Thin gloves are ok on the rowing machines, but are generally not worn on the water (it's a rower thing). Bring a bottle of water and wear sunscreen, even in cool weather.

Class will meet rain or shine (or snow) -- if it's miserable the class will work on the rowing machines inside the boathouse.
