Learn To Row (L2R) sessions are held in the Summer and Fall for those that have an interest in rowing. Participants get a true understanding for what rowing is all about, hear directly from our experienced coaching staff and view/touch/row “racing” boats. This is an optional class for any participant who wishes to join TCYR.
