Learn to Row - More
information:
Here are some suggestions on what to bring to your "Learn
to Row" sessions. First of all some common sense items: you need to
bring some water to drink, sunglasses, and sun cream. You will want to
wear tight fitting clothes (if your clothes are too loose you can get
them caught in the equipment). I would suggest you pick up some bicycle
shorts or something similar by the 3rd class. Remember to
dress in layers as it can be cool on the lake. What ever you wear, be
sure to wear pants that can be rolled up past you knees as you will be
walking in the water to get into the boats. This might sound strange but
also bring some socks. It is also a good idea to bring and keep a
complete change of clothes in your car. We will be using the rowing
machine the first few sessions (don’t worry we will get in the boats
too). You will need athletic shoes for that.
You
will be required to complete a basic swim test. Depending on the
weather, this will be done after the 2nd or 3rd
session.
Here
are directions to the beach. From the Mid Cape Highway (Rt. 6), get off
at exit 6 and head towards Hyannis. Just after the freeway exits take a
right onto Shootflying Hill Road. Follow it approximately 1 mile to the
town landing (you will see a parking lot in front of the Lake). If you
would like to see a map go to our website
www.capecodrowing.org . Link to “about us” and you will see the link
to the map.
If
there is no place to park, turn around and head back the way you came
and park on the side of the road past the no parking signs.
