GUEST ROWERS
We have completed our LEARN TO ROW class series for the 2009 season. Check back in March for 2010 class information.
YOUR FIRST ROW: bring a full water bottle, hat and sunscreen. Wear snug fitting athletic clothing appropriate to the weather. You need maximal freedom of movement without the risk of loose clothing snagging in the tracks or catching your thumbs (open pockets on front are a no-no). Cycling clothing works well.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT: Each lesson series will begin with a review of boating safety and the geography and water conditions of the Great Salt Lake. Rowers will then learn the basics of the rowing stroke in a wide, stable ocean shell. After a series of four lessons, most rowers will be qualified to become members of Great Salt Lake Rowing, where they may participate in club rows, row individually (weather permitting), or develop their rowing abilities further in coached sessions for future racing.

Private lessons are also available, both for beginning rowers and for those who would like to improve their technique. Contact the club Training Committee chair at josieb534 at hotmail dot com for information.
EXPERIENCED ROWERS
ALL ROWERS must pass a "check-out" from a qualified coach and be registered members of Great Salt Lake Rowing before joining GSLR to use equipment outside their lesson times. Experienced rowers new to Great Salt Lake Rowing should contact josieb534 at hotmail dot com to schedule a checkout.

GUEST ROWERS
The beautiful environment and unusual water conditions on the Great Salt Lake make it an interesting place to row for those who pass through this part of the country. We are always excited to interact with rowers from other parts of the world. Experienced rowers from other USRowing member clubs or international clubs who travel to Salt Lake City may row as a guest of the club. The guest fee is $25.00 per row, and the guest may row only during a coached "Club Row" with the approval of the coach, or when accompanied by a GSLR board member. Contact club president at cbquann at msn dot com to arrange for a guest row.
