Each 7-hour day of  our Rowing Clinic includes:

• single sculling instruction begins at 7:30 am and concludes at 2:30 pm. Daily sessions begin at 7:30 am. The first row is a 120-minute session with dockside instruction, individual coaching, and videotaping. Our coaches work with each sculler from a launch or rowing shell, and each sculler is videotaped.
• Following the morning row, students and coaches enjoy a leisurely hot breakfast at a nearby cafe.
• The group then goes to a classroom for 1 to 2 hours of detailed video review and discussion of technique.
• Following the classroom instruction, scullers return to the lake for a second coached session on the water focused on practice, drills, and individual attention. The second session lasts 90 to120 minutes. A double scull is also available for use upon request.

Most days end around 2:30, however Monday and Friday classroom sessions often run longer and those days can run until after 4:00pm.

Rowing camp sessions start promptly at 7:30 am. Please arrive on time. Parking is available in the Lake Wellington Professional Center parking lot, rest room facilities are in the community center pool house next to the boathouse, and a lock box is on site for keeping backpacks and valuables when scullers are on the water.

Sessions start promptly at 7:30 am. Please arrive on time. 
On day 1 please arrive atleast 15 minutes early.

Beginners are welcome, and can learn quickly in this setting. However, in order to provide a comprehensive introduction to the sport of sculling, the Florida Rowing Center requires a minimum stay of three (3) days for beginners. The only prerequiste for participation is that you have reasonable swimming skills.

Important Note:

Each rowing clinic at the Florida Rowing Center offers places for three (3) beginners so that the coaches can provide personal attention. A separate box for Beginner/Novice is included in the Registration process for every session date on the calendar. If the beginner places in a particular session have already been reserved, then the Beginner box will not appear as an option for those dates. Please select other dates, or contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. We look forward to having you join us.
