Row Free Programs
Austin Rowing Club aims to keep rowing accessible to all members of the Austin community.
ARC offers several NO-COST rowing programs to encourage participation in rowing.
 National
Learn to Row Day:
This
USRowing-sponsored national event takes
place each year, the first Saturday in June.
Participants will go out on the water in eight-man rowing
shells with coaches and volunteers from ARC. You will spend
approximately 1 hour on the water. ARC taught over
250 people to row in just one day! For more information on the 2010
event, please CLICK HERE.
 Meet-Ups: ARC
has introduced hundreds of
new rowers to the sport for free "meet up" days. Meet-Up.com is a national
website that allows users to schedule meet ups to do fun, active things
in their city with like-minded participants. ARC hosts Meet-Up days
throughout the year. To participate, or to see when our next Meet-Up is,
please register for the Austin Rowing Meet-Up
group.  Sierra Club Outings:

partners with Sierra Club for lake clean-up efforts, and now offers
rowing opprtunities as well. Austin
