Welcome to the Mission Bay Aquatic Center, one of the few places in the United States to offer year round, on-the-water rowing classes for beginners. We offer courses in both sculling and sweep rowing in structured classes as well as private lessons for those desiring one-on-one interaction or needing a more flexible schedule. Additionally, during the summer we offer week long rowing camps for juniors that can be combined with a variety of other water sports offered at the center. Our instructors are United States Rowing Association certified and have competed at the college and masters levels as well as coached a number of junior, masters, and collegiate crews. Mission Bay itself is home to a number of different rowing organizations that include university teams, and junior/masters club programs. If you're interested in learning to row or improving their technique, read the course descriptions or call us to speak with a rowing instructor to find the class that best fits your needs.
