Rowing

Rowing Area Image

With beautiful weather and protected waters, Mission Bay in San Diego offers a great environment to learn to row. Through our progressive rowing classes, you will learn techniques that will help you become part of a rowing club or be able to rent equipment at the end of your classes. Our rowing instruction consists of some on-land training followed with coaching and practice on the water.

The Mission Bay Aquatic Center is one of the few places in the United States to offer year round, on-the-water rowing classes for beginners. The sport of rowing offers a unique combination of exercise and the enjoyment of being out on the water. Our sweep rowing classes introduce you to rowing as a team sport, where our sculling classes introduce rowing as an individual activity. Either path will get you out on the water participating in a sport rich in tradition, and high on reward.
