It's Time to Learn to Row!

National Learn to Row Day kicks off this year on Saturday, June 1, with the theme of "A Seat in the Boat for Everyone." Rowing clubs across the United States are encouraged to welcome and celebrate newcomers to our sport via this annual Learn to Row Day tradition. Best of all, it's FREE! National Learn to Row Day is co-sponsored by USRowing and Concept2. The event is a community outreach day geared to educate and inspire all ages about the amazing sport of rowing. The day plays an important role in the overall growth of the sport by bringing visibility and attention to rowing within local communities. USRowing provides Learn to Row Day information and resources including a poster, graphics, social media ideas and other event planning tips for a successful, safe event. “We’re proud to be long-time sponsors of National Learn to Row Day and hope that this first time rowing experience can translate to a lifelong love of the sport. We hope that everyone has a great experience on the water enjoying something new,” says Concept2's Judy Geer.

This year, individuals who complete the Opening the Boathouse Doors course on USRowing’s The Launch before June 1, will be entered in a prize drawing to win a Concept2 RowErg. Anyone who is a current USRowing member can access The Launch through their membership portal.
