Oslo Roklubb Beginners Course 


🗓 Dato: 26. april 2025
🕔 Tid: 9:00-15:00
📍 Sted: Oslo Roklubb, Hensengvein 9, 0287 Oslo

We’re excited to welcome you for a fun and inspiring day on the water!

This course is perfect for beginners or anyone looking to brush up on their rowing skills. We’ll kick off the morning with a relaxed introduction to the different types of rowing—sculling, sweeping, and indoor rowing—plus a quick safety tour around the boathouse.

Then it’s time to bring the energy with a light-hearted relay challenge on the indoor rowers (join in if you’d like!), before we break for a well-deserved lunch.

In the afternoon, you’ll have the chance to try out a variety of safe, stable boats and head out onto the bay with an instructor by your side. We’ll wrap up around 15:00 with a short debrief and a chat about what comes next.

We can’t wait to row with you!
