Minneapolis Rowing Club offers private and semi-private (up to four rowers) lessons for rowers or new rowers ages 14+ with our experienced and USRowing certified coaches.
Tell us the days you are free…we’ll make it happen.
Lessons are 90 minutes and your coach will be in a small motor boat launch or rowing alongside you in their own sculling boat.
Your safety is our highest priority. Please be advised that our ability to offer private lessons is dependent on current river and weather conditions.
