Learn to Scull Clinics

Learn to Scull Clinics 2026

This 3 x 1½ hour  program is designed for beginning rowers who would like to learn sculling (rowing with two oars). Participants will use UVRF’s recreational rowing shells or racing shells with pontoons, which are very stable in the water. The sessions will focus on boat handling, building skills and gaining confidence.

All participants must:

  • Pass the UVRF swim test
  • Join USRowing (there is a 60 day Learn to Row membership for $10 which can be upgraded to an Annual Basic for $20)
  • Take the Abuse Prevention for Adult Athletes (if over 18) SafeSport course at USRowing.

Use of club sculling equipment for two weeks after instruction is included. If you wish to continue rowing after the 2 week free row period, you must join UVRF with a paid membership.

Please note that scholarships are available for those who might need some assistance in order to sign up for any of our sculling programs. All applications are confidential and thanks to generous donations, we have funds available. Email executive.director.uvrf@gmail.com to apply.
