SUMPRO – The TRC Summer Learn-to-Row Program
SumPro starts on Monday, 9 June 2008 at 1728 (That's 5:28 pm for the landlubbers).

Everyone who is interested in learning to row should show up on that day so that we can find out who wants to do Mondays and Wednesdays and who wants to do Tuesdays and Thursdays. Anyone who wants to is welcome to do all four days - no extra charge.

The first four weeks will be sculling school - each rower has an oar in each hand. The first four weeks is over on 3 July.

The second four weeks will be sweep school - each rower has both hands on one oar. The second four weeks - sweep school - runs from 7 July until 1 August.

The fee is $100 per session or $180 for both sessions.
