Whether you're a beginner looking to nail down the basics or an intermediate rower aiming to refine your technique, this course is tailored to help you make real progress on the water.

Course Breakdown

Our MP1 course is designed to give you a solid foundation in rowing fundamentals. We keep the group size small - just 5 participants max - to ensure you get plenty of personalized attention from our expert instructors. You'll spend time both on land and on the water, learning proper form, building strength, and getting a feel for the rhythm of the stroke. Don't worry if you're new to this - we'll start with the basics and build from there.

On the Water

Once we hit the water, you'll put theory into practice. We'll cover everything from the catch to the finish, helping you develop a smooth, efficient stroke. You'll learn how to read the water, work with your teammates (if you're doing sweep rowing), and handle different weather conditions. By the end of the course, you'll have a much better understanding of boat handling and water safety too.

Gear and Techniques

We'll get you set up with all the right gear - from proper rowing attire to the oars themselves. You'll learn how to adjust your footstretcher, set the boat, and feather your oar like a pro. We'll cover different rowing techniques too, like square blade rowing and suspension drills. These are the kind of insider tips that can really take your rowing to the next level.

Why Rowers Love It

Our past participants rave about the progress they make during this course. Many find that their stroke efficiency improves dramatically, and they gain a whole new appreciation for the sport. It's not just about physical skills either - rowing is as much a mental game as it is physical, and you'll learn strategies to stay focused and push through those tough patches during a long row.

Waterway Wisdom

While we're out on the water, keep an eye out for local wildlife. Depending on the season, you might spot ospreys diving for fish or even dolphins playing in the distance. It's not just about the rowing - it's about connecting with nature and enjoying the peace and beauty of being on the water. We'll share some local knowledge about the best times to row and how to work with the tides and currents in our area.

Fitness Benefits

Rowing is one of the best full-body workouts you can get, and this course will help you maximize those benefits. You'll learn how to engage your core, drive with your legs, and use your back and arms effectively. It's low-impact but high-intensity, perfect for building endurance and strength without putting too much stress on your joints. Many of our participants find that rowing becomes their go-to workout after completing this course.

Safety First

Safety is our top priority at ScubaTech Destin. We'll cover all the essential safety protocols, from proper boat handling to what to do in case of an emergency. You'll learn how to perform a capsize drill (don't worry, it's easier than it sounds!) and how to get back in the boat if you do end up in the water. By the end of the course, you'll feel confident and prepared for whatever the water might throw at you.

Building Camaraderie

One of the best parts of this course is the sense of community it builds. Rowing is a team sport, even when you're in a single scull, and you'll find yourself bonding with your fellow rowers over shared challenges and triumphs. Many of our past participants have formed lasting friendships and rowing partnerships through this course. It's a great way to expand your social circle and find workout buddies who share your passion for the water.

Progressing Your Skills

As you progress through the course, you'll notice your technique improving day by day. We'll work on building your stamina, perfecting your catch, and developing a powerful drive. You'll learn how to maintain proper posture and how to use your body weight effectively. By the end, you'll be amazed at how much more efficient and powerful your stroke has become.

Local Rowing Scene

We'll also give you the inside scoop on the local rowing scene. From regattas to rowing clubs, we'll help you get plugged into the community so you can continue your rowing journey long after the course ends. There are some beautiful waterways in our area perfect for rowing, and we'll share our favorite spots for both training and leisurely rows.
