ENROLMENTS for semester 1 are now CLOSED

NEXT PROGRAM WILL COMMENCE 6 OCTOBER 2026

The ANU Boat Club introduces beginners to the fundamentals of rowing through the Introduction to Rowing Program. The ITR program is run twice a year and requires no previous experience. The program includes eight lessons over four weeks, with practical on-water instruction from the very first lesson. Participants will have a qualified coach and experienced coxswain to help them learn about the equipment and terminology used in rowing, and to gain the skills required to row and be safe on our beautiful Lake Burley Griffin.

To enrol in the ITR program you must:

• be 16 years or older and,

• be able to swim at least 50m and keep your head above water unassisted for at least three minutes.

The Program is run from the club house on the ANU campus from the protected waters of Sullivans Creek.

Participants who successfully graduate from the ITR Program are eligible to apply for membership of the club as a member of the novice squad. From there we work with our rowers to support them to do the rowing they want to do - rowing for fun, for exercise, or doing serious training for competitive rowing.

The next program will commence in the week of 23 February. Details will be available in September.
