It runs as a fixed-length program with a single fee, so it\u2019s not a membership and there are no ongoing payments. Programs come in different shapes: most run once a week across a term, while intensives and holiday programs condense the same coaching into a shorter block, and session lengths vary with them. Every listing shows its own days, times, length and price, so the booking page always has the current detail.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We run Learn to Row for different groups through the year:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Adults (18+)<\/strong>, weekend morning sessions across the term, and an early-morning intensive that covers the same ground in half the time<\/li><li><strong>Youth (Years 7 to 12)<\/strong>, term programs and short intensives timed to get ahead of the school rowing season<\/li><li><strong>School holiday programs<\/strong>, a full week on the water for years 7 to 12, from first-timers through to elite youth rowers<\/li><li><strong>University students<\/strong>, a semester program at a student rate, open to students from any university<\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whichever you choose, everything is provided: boats, oars, safety gear and coaching. You bring yourself and a water bottle. Places in every program are capped so coaches can give real attention to every rower.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"pennant wp-block-heading\">What you\u2019ll learn<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program takes you from never having held an oar to rowing confidently as part of a crew.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"rs-num-blocks\">\r\n<div class=\"rs-num-block\"><span class=\"rs-num-block__n\">01<\/span><div class=\"rs-num-block__body\"><h3>The fundamentals<\/h3><p>Rowing technique, terminology, body positioning and the stroke, built up step by step so nothing is assumed.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"rs-num-block\"><span class=\"rs-num-block__n\">02<\/span><div class=\"rs-num-block__body\"><h3>On-water sessions<\/h3><p>The heart of the program. Coached rowing on Lake Burley Griffin, starting in stable boats and progressing as your skills do.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"rs-num-block\"><span class=\"rs-num-block__n\">03<\/span><div class=\"rs-num-block__body\"><h3>Off-water training<\/h3><p>Time on the rowing machine (the erg) to groove your technique, plus the basics of rowing fitness.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"rs-num-block\"><span class=\"rs-num-block__n\">04<\/span><div class=\"rs-num-block__body\"><h3>Boat handling and safety<\/h3><p>How to carry, launch and land a boat, look after equipment and stay safe on the water.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"rs-num-block\"><span class=\"rs-num-block__n\">05<\/span><div class=\"rs-num-block__body\"><h3>Sculling first<\/h3><p>Beginners learn to scull, rowing with two oars, which builds the best foundation. Sweep rowing (one oar) is an option to explore later.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"rs-num-block\"><span class=\"rs-num-block__n\">06<\/span><div class=\"rs-num-block__body\"><h3>Rowing with others<\/h3><p>Rowing is a team sport at heart. We aim to keep you with a familiar group each week, and most people finish with new friends as well as a new skill.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"pennant wp-block-heading\">Your first session<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arrive about 15 minutes early so you can find us, meet your coach and get sorted before the session starts. Rowing lives on the bottom floor of Red Shed: go up the ramp and take the internal stairs down, or come straight down the external stairs when you arrive. Your first session covers the essentials on land, an introduction to the boats and equipment, a safety briefing and your first strokes on the erg, before you get on the water. Every session is coached.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Red Shed is on Black Mountain Peninsula, Acton, reached via John Cardiff Close. There\u2019s parking on site, and <a href=\"\/rebuild\/easy-oar\/\">Easy Oar<\/a>, our cafe, is right there for a coffee after your session.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large rs-photo-band\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1620\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/redshed.org.au\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/redshed-2026-rowing-crew-dawn-misty-104.jpg\" alt=\"Crew rowing through apricot dawn mist on Lake Burley Griffin\" class=\"wp-image-4423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redshed.org.au\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/redshed-2026-rowing-crew-dawn-misty-104.jpg 1620w, https:\/\/redshed.org.au\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/redshed-2026-rowing-crew-dawn-misty-104-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/redshed.org.au\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/redshed-2026-rowing-crew-dawn-misty-104-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/redshed.org.au\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/redshed-2026-rowing-crew-dawn-misty-104-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/redshed.org.au\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/redshed-2026-rowing-crew-dawn-misty-104-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/redshed.org.au\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/redshed-2026-rowing-crew-dawn-misty-104-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/redshed.org.au\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/redshed-2026-rowing-crew-dawn-misty-104-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1620px) 100vw, 1620px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"pennant wp-block-heading\">What to wear and bring<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wear fitted, comfortable activewear that you can move freely in. Avoid loose shorts or baggy tops, which can catch in the boat\u2019s moving parts. Socks are essential, as shoes come off in the boats, and slip-on shoes make getting in and out easy. Pack runners too, for land-based training when the weather keeps us off the water. Bring a water bottle, sunscreen and a hat for morning light, and a warm layer in the cooler months, since it\u2019s always a few degrees cooler on the water. Leave jewellery and anything you\u2019d hate to drop in the lake at home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are bathrooms on site with showers and hairdryers, so you can change after your session and head straight to work, or wherever the day takes you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"pennant wp-block-heading\">Fitness and swimming<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don\u2019t need to be fit to start. Rowing meets you where you are, and the program builds fitness gradually. You do need to be comfortable in the water: being able to swim 50 metres and tread water is the standard we ask of every rower. If that\u2019s a concern, get in touch before booking and we\u2019ll talk it through.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"pennant wp-block-heading\">Weather<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rowing happens in the rain, and some of the best sessions are the still, drizzly ones. If conditions aren\u2019t safe for beginners (strong wind, fog or storms), your coach will run the session on land instead, working on technique, erg skills and boat craft, so the session still counts and you still learn. That\u2019s where the runners come in. Outright cancellations are very rare, and if one happens you\u2019ll be told by text.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"pennant wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<details class=\"rs-reg-accordion\"><summary>Do I need any experience?<\/summary><div class=\"rs-reg-accordion__body\"><p>No. Learn to Row assumes nothing. Every skill is taught from the beginning.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\r\n<details class=\"rs-reg-accordion\"><summary>Which program should I pick?<\/summary><div class=\"rs-reg-accordion__body\"><p>It mostly comes down to your availability. If your weekends are free, the weekly program gives your body more time to absorb each session. If weekends are hard or you\u2019d rather get there faster, the intensive covers the same content in a shorter block. Youth rowers aiming for the school season should look at the intensive or a school holiday program, which get you ready before term starts.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\r\n<details class=\"rs-reg-accordion\"><summary>I rowed years ago. Do I start again with Learn to Row?<\/summary><div class=\"rs-reg-accordion__body\"><p>That depends on your comfort. You\u2019re very welcome to start fresh with Learn to Row, and plenty of returning rowers do. If you\u2019d rather not, email our team at info@redshed.org.au and they\u2019ll find the right place to slot you in.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\r\n<details class=\"rs-reg-accordion\"><summary>What if I miss a session?<\/summary><div class=\"rs-reg-accordion__body\"><p>Life happens. Talk to your coach, who will help you catch up within your program where possible. Your enrolment covers the sessions listed for your program, and there are no separate make-up sessions.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\r\n<details class=\"rs-reg-accordion\"><summary>Can I join after the program has started?<\/summary><div class=\"rs-reg-accordion__body\"><p>Yes, programs stay open for enrolment after week one at the full program fee. Whether that\u2019s right for you depends on how far in the program is, so contact us and we\u2019ll give you an honest answer.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\r\n<details class=\"rs-reg-accordion\"><summary>Am I too old to learn?<\/summary><div class=\"rs-reg-accordion__body\"><p>No. Rowing is one of the few sports people genuinely pick up at any age, and our adult programs regularly include rowers in their 50s, 60s and beyond. Masters rowing is one of the strongest parts of the sport.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\r\n<details class=\"rs-reg-accordion\"><summary>Is there a weight limit?<\/summary><div class=\"rs-reg-accordion__body\"><p>There\u2019s no set weight limit. Boats come in different shapes and sizes, and coaches match every rower to one that suits them. The more useful question is mobility: you\u2019ll need to manage the step down into the boat and back out again, with a steadying hand from us where it helps. If you\u2019re wondering whether rowing will work for your body, get in touch for an honest chat. Rowing is about as low-impact as sport gets, and people row well into their 80s, so the answer is usually yes.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\r\n<details class=\"rs-reg-accordion\"><summary>My child has just finished Year 6. Can they join a youth program?<\/summary><div class=\"rs-reg-accordion__body\"><p>Yes. Youth programs are for Years 7 to 12, and Year 7 counts from the moment Year 6 is finished. Students qualify from the school holidays straight after Year 6, so the holiday program before Year 7 starts is a popular first taste of rowing.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\r\n<details class=\"rs-reg-accordion\"><summary>Can parents come out on the water with youth rowers?<\/summary><div class=\"rs-reg-accordion__body\"><p>For safety reasons, only rowers and coaches go out in the boats and the coach\u2019s tinny, so we ask parents to wait on shore. It\u2019s a good wait, though: Easy Oar is right there for a coffee, a matcha or a bite to eat while your rower trains.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large rs-photo-band\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1620\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/redshed.org.au\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/redshed-2026-rowing-older-grinning-red-16.jpg\" alt=\"Member grinning at rest in a red single scull\" class=\"wp-image-4427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redshed.org.au\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/redshed-2026-rowing-older-grinning-red-16.jpg 1620w, https:\/\/redshed.org.au\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/redshed-2026-rowing-older-grinning-red-16-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/redshed.org.au\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/redshed-2026-rowing-older-grinning-red-16-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/redshed.org.au\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/redshed-2026-rowing-older-grinning-red-16-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/redshed.org.au\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/redshed-2026-rowing-older-grinning-red-16-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/redshed.org.au\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/redshed-2026-rowing-older-grinning-red-16-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/redshed.org.au\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/redshed-2026-rowing-older-grinning-red-16-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1620px) 100vw, 1620px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"pennant wp-block-heading\">Where rowing takes you next<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learn to Row is the start, not the whole story.

It\u2019s for experienced rowers, so it isn\u2019t the step straight after Learn to Row, but keep building through development and it\u2019s a natural place to end up.
