Successful completion of Learn to Row or other prior sweep experience required. This class is a continuation of the initial LTR class and the beginning of a sweep rowing focus. The class is centered around sweep rowing in ‘big boats’ (8-person or 4-person boats) with the goal of creating confident sweep rowers and coxswains, while learning to row as one unit: everyone rowing smoothly and together in the boat. Athletes will become comfortable “rotating” through the lineup, with some taking turns sitting out while others continue to row. Successful completion progresses the athletes to the morning or evening recreational rowing classes. From college students to retirees, beginners to the very experienced, men and women of all ages and physical abilities can participate in Riverfront Recapture classes for beginning, intermediate and experienced rowers. Classes are offered in both large, team boats (sweep rowing) and smaller, individual boats (sculling) in spring, summer, and fall, and during the winter we train indoors. Financial assistance may be available to adult rowers. To inquire, contact Jonathan Near by email at jnear@riverfront.org.
