September Learn to Row Course
8th September 2025 - 18th October 2025
Cygnet RC's next Learn to Row course runs for 6 weeks from Monday 8th September – Saturday 18th October 2025
Our Learn to Row page has all the details as well as the application form.
The cost of the course is £160 which includes temporary membership of Cygnet RC. There is no obligation to join Cygnet RC on completion of the course but this fee will be deducted from your subs if you do decide to join.
The course has been designed to get progressively more challenging in skills, knowledge and fitness intensity over the six weeks. We understand that you may not be able to make every session, however the more you put it in the more you get out so regular attendance is necessary for you to be able to make any progress.
