Come and Try Rowing Day!

Community Rowing Club runs regularly “come and try” days for rower and para-rowers alike, where for one day, you can get an introduction to the sport in a tailored session for new rowers, regardless of your previous experience or abilities.

We use para-rowing specific equipment where necessary to ensure that everyone who wants to have a go gets a chance to try the sport.

Our next Come and Try day is on 7 September 2024 at the Sydney International Regatta Centre, Penrith, starting at 9:30am.

The cost for the day is only $70, and includes recreational membership with Rowing NSW.

We will run through the basics of the rowing stroke on rowing machines, before taking participants onto the water using a purpose-built rowing barge that allows us to give you technical coaching and support from within the boat.

Rowers who complete the come and try day and want to continue with the sport are warmly invited to sign up for our next learn to row course, which will run over 6 weeks and guide you through the next steps towards building your confidence on the water.

To sign up for the day, please fill out the form below!
