Learn to Row

Rowers on Zink Lake

After years of watching construction of the new Zink Lake project and low-water dam, the reality of consistent and predictable water has given the Tulsa Rowing Club new life and a bright future.

With Zink Lake now full of water, we want to invite ALL in the community who have ever wondered what it would be like to row in Tulsa to join us on the water and experience one of the most exciting sports in the world!

Learn to Row Classes for Beginners

Tulsa Rowing Club offers learn-to-row classes throughout the year. Generally, the classes will be offered April – September. Members who are interested in learning to row should contact the learn-to-row coordinator at info@tulsarowingclub.org for more information or to sign up for a class.

Classes generally run for 2 weeks (3 days a week for a total of 6 classes) – two evenings during the week and once on Saturday morning.

All boats have weight ranges as prescribed by the manufacturer. TRC can only accommodate a person with a max weight of 240 lbs. Additionally, TRC boats have a max shoe size limitation of US Men Size 12.

Upon confirmation from the learn-to-row coordinator, class participants must:

  • Must submit one of the swim forms.
  • Pay the $150.00 Learn-To-Row class fee.
