I'm new, what can I expect?

Rowing is low-impact so it is safe and extremely efficient. We have a full spectrum of experience and skill levels in our classes. If you are new to Power Rowing, please make sure you arrive at least 10 minutes before your first class so we can get necessary paperwork completed and show you around. If you are new to rowing, please make sure the coach knows so that they can give you some extra help as you get more used to how we row!
