Athletes will be run through an extensive technical introduction to the sport first using indoor rowing machines and tanks, and then quickly moving onto the water. As skill develops, workouts will take on a progressively more intensive physical component. Training will focus on providing the physical and technical foundation required to later compete with confidence and success against other athletes of a similar skill level.

For graduates of the introductory program, these programs are designed specifically for athletes within their first year in the sport. The program will focus on continued and progressive development in on the water boat moving skills and will be integrated with instruction on advanced principles of motion and power application using the indoor rowing machines.
