With support from the City of National City and the San Diego Unified Port District, Community Rowing of San Diego is conducting six one-week Learn-to-Row Camps for girls and boys ages 12-19 at the National City Aquatic Center, 3300 Goesno Place, National City, CA 91950.

The primary method of instruction will be LEARNING BY DOING.

Attendees will learn about the Culture of Rowing, the Language and Equipment of Rowing, Rowing and Coxing Skills and Techniques, Types of Competition, and Opportunities in Rowing.

Attendees will learn about sculls, shells, oars, oarlocks, outriggers, sliding seats, tracks, keels, bows, gunwales, and stretchers.

They will learn about the stroke, bow, and other positions on the boat, about side-by side and head races, and about port, starboard, and other nautical terminology.

Each attendee will receive technical instruction on rowing both on and off the water, including video analysis of his or her rowing technique.

Attendees will learn the fundamentals of rowing and will spend a lot of time out on the water rowing as part of a team (a “crew”).
