This program has been so successful that we decided to squeeze in one more before we hopefully get on the water at the end of April.

So if you have ever wanted to get into rowing, now is the time. Megunticook Rowing is offering free Learn-to-Row sessions March 24-28 at their training facility at Midcoast Recreation Center.

Megunticook Rowing’s Learn-to-Row program takes you through a four-class learning experience designed to teach the basics of the rowing sequence. No rowing experience is required! Attending 2 or 3 of these erg sessions will get you ready to complete the Learn-to-Row course on the water in half the time and half the cost of our regular Learn-to-Row sessions. For the on the water sessions you will pay $75 to complete Learn to Row. 

This program is open to anyone with no previous rowing experience, 12 years old and up.

Once you complete the Learn-to-Row program you can become a member of Megunticook Rowing at a discounted rate of $50 your first summer on the water. You will then be qualified to sign up for our full schedule of coached Novice programs. The only requirement is that you must sign up in advance by contacting: Will Schaetzke at row@megunticookrowing.org
