ABOUT LEARN TO ROW

Youth Learn to Row is a fantastic introduction to UA Crew and is open to boys and girls, grades 7-12. Participants will learn the basics of Sweep Rowing (using one 15-foot-long oar), oar mechanics on the water, safety on the water, rowing's unique language, how to "set" a boat, proper launching techniques, and the rowing stroke under the supervision of our Women's Head Coach, Kristina Patterson along with experienced alumni coaches and coxswains. 

 

Each staff member has passed a background check through the Upper Arlington School District.  

 

Participants do not need to be enrolled in Upper Arlington schools to participate. 

​
