The Dayton Boat Club offers two introduction to rowing programs - one for juniors (grades 7-9) and one for adults.

Both programs teach the basics of the sport of rowing. Both programs includes training on the erg (rowing) machines and on-the-water sessions. They include safety training, boat handling lessons, coxswain commands, and, of course, rowing. Participants will start on the water in an octuple (8-person boat) and progress to recreational racing singles. After completion of each program participants should be capable of continuing with coached single lessons.
