Learn
to Row in Austin
Austin Rowing Dock is the best place to learn to row in Austin. Our
lessons are designed to teach you the basics so that you can continue to
row for years whether you choose to compete or to recreate. Beginner
rowers will be shown the basics of rowing by utilizing "land equipment"
such as rowing machines and dock trainers. Next, it is time for rowers
to get into an actual scull and apply all of the skills they have
learned. Our
coaches don’t just tell you the basic technique and send you off while
they stay on the dock—they will be with you on Town Lake throughout all your lessons
In terms of
instruction we offer three options:
- Package of 5 1-hour private
lessons + 1 month rowing membership: $250.00
- Package of 5 1 1/2 hour
semi-private lessons + 1 month rowing membership: $200.00
- Beginner Rowing Course: 6
lessons + 1 month rowing membership + graduation row: $165.00

Memberships
After completion of your instruction or with proven sculling experience,
you will be certified to row on your own--so you can become a member. As
a member, you can row as often as you like, whenever you like. Rowing
Dock members also have free access to our rowing machines, and to our
rental fleet which consists of paddle boats and kayaks. We organize
full-moon rows, and encourage participation in local races. Also, we
have an E-mail list server for members to exchange information, meet
potential workout buddies, and to coordinate rowing in double and quad
boats. As a unique feature of our service, we have a dock attendant on
duty everyday of the week. The dock attendant will help you get your
boat in the water and offer informal instruction. We also offer free
weekly coaching sessions to our members, which is a great way to brush
up on your skills. Membership prices start at just $36 per month. For
