September Learn to Row Course
7th September 2026 - 17th October 2026
Cygnet RC's next Learn to Row course runs for 6 weeks from Monday 7th September – Saturday 17th October 2026
Our Learn to Row page has all the details as well as the application form.
The cost of the course is £180 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.
