Spring 2012
The practice schedules below reflect our best projections for the Spring season, and are based on several years of optimization. In spite of that, the scheduled may need to be adjusted to accomodate weather, access to coaches and/or equipment, or to optimize the composition of training groups. These changes may include weekly practice frequency, practice time/or duration, and the shortening or lengthening of a season. Should the need for any adjustments become apparent, we will notify athletes ahead of time and work with you as needed to make the transition.
Adult Introductory Indoor Rowing
NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY
The Introductory (or Learn to Row) program is designed to provide individuals that have had little or no exposure to the sport (as well as those that have been away from it for an extended period) a comprehensive introduction to the skills they will need to become competent at propelling a rowing shell. An introductory option is available in the early spring only and training will remain indoors to prepare athletes for a comfortable transition to the water in April. Training will utilize indoor rowing machines and indoor rowing tanks and focus on general aerobic fitness and the development of a solid technical foundation. Following the Introductory program, participants will have the option of pursuing the sport with Essex Rowing in either a recreational or competitive capacity along with other rowers of comparable skill level and interest.
