Adult Beginner Rowing Class

Our Adult Beginner Rowing class teaches the basics of rowing and sculling (rowing with 2 oars) from the beginning for those totally new to the sport, or for sweep rowers who'd like to switch things up a bit and learn to scull! You'll spend your time on the water in singles (1 person) and doubles (2 people) learning proper rowing technique along with boat handling and care. Simple exercises to build a base of strength in the body, especially the core, combined with some good cardio on the water, will help to develop your fitness, balance and flexibility.  


Every participant will get a chance to row out on the beautiful Estuary and develop fitness at his/her own pace - it's a great outdoor substitute for a visit to the gym! By the end of the five weeks, you'll be comfortable handling your own boat and have a solid foundation for future rowing ventures!


We also offer Adult Intermediate Sculling Classes and Drop-In sessions for experienced rowers and scullers!

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

Was that what i heard in the middle of the night on Wednesday? I thought i was dreaming. It soundedRead More like some sort of loudspeaker.

Gee...are you SURE that alarm IS coming from Portola Middle School? Um...I suppose that you ARERead More sure! Yes...it IS turbo-annoying but I had assumed that it was some stupid car alarm.

Good thought, Julian.

I've spoken with him, he is educated, intelligent and articulate. He is also angry and sometimesRead More irrational. I dont know his story but his "street art" stands on its own legs. If you would like to help him, and yourself, buy and enjoy his art.

A neighbor of mine on Colusa tried to give him food when he was on Colusa, but he refused, so IRead More never tried. Dorothy, is that the shelter near the Berkeley Historical Society/Veteran's Building? Perhaps he would need a ride to it. Perhaps he's concerned about leaving his things there if he can't be there during the day. I'm afraid I don't know enough about it.

I did mention that I'm donating 10% of my royalties for "Midnight" to the EC's Open SpaceRead More fund, didn't I? I'm a Down-home Ten Percenter.

Lucy, I like the idea in principal, but in reality I think it would just give ECPD more work to do.Read More "People hanging out" doesn't necessarily translate to a friendly,fun-filled, folksy kind of environment. It *can* mean quite the reverse. "Midnight On the Ohlone" sounds like a new recording. Something like "I left my little babeeeeee, down by the tracks....and now I want her back....she's a needle in the haaaaaaay staaaaack...' Arhoolie awaits.

What a great idea for pocket parks!!! I am all for them. Instead of spening a big amount on oneRead More (which we don't have space anyway), I would like to see many mini parks of $20,000 along the Bart tracks. With more visibility and people hanging out, it would make Bart paths safer too, especially the one around fairmont park. Really mini pocket parks just needs some play structures, benches and tables there.
