The APSM Learn to Row course is four 1.5 hour sessions conducted over 4 weeks where you are taught the basics of rowing, the terminology, how to handle rowing equipment and be safe in a boat.  Anyone may attend including juniors, students, young adults and older adults.  The course is conducted out of the APSM rowing shed on Albert Park Lake.
