Learn to Row at GCRA

Greater Columbus (Ohio) Rowing Association’s 2026 Summer Adult Learn-To-Row Program is now OPEN for registration! Please review the details below, then DM your email address to receive registration instructions!

LTR Program Overview:

Summer LTR is designed to be comprehensive enough to allow you the opportunity to gain sufficient rowing proficiency to be able to join GCRA as a member upon completion.

Practice Schedule
Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 5:45-7:45 pm,
beginning Monday June 1 through Wednesday July 1.

Cost: $375

**Session will be capped at 13 rowers**

You will receive a step-by-step introduction to the rowing stroke on our indoor machines in the first week, then shift to on-water training, including safe equipment handling as a team, to experience both rowing disciplines:

We begin with sculling: Each rower uses two oars in a 4-person boat with a coxswain
We then transition to sweep rowing: Each rower uses one oar, typically in an 8-person boat with a coxswain.

If you rowed previously, you may find LTR a great option to get back into it and get an introduction to GCRA! We often have folks with a background in sweep rowing participate in our LTR to learn how to scull and to get a refresher on their skills!

Are you a former rower? Looking to return to rowing? Join us on Saturday May 16 for an opportunity to check out GCRA! Registration is required here:
