Activity Details
BGS+ Rowing is an introduction to rowing program designed for Year 6-7 students at Brighton Grammar School. The program develops rowing technique across two progressive levels, building skills both off the water and on.
Training Structure:
- Level 1 (4-week program): Held at Brighton Grammar's Junior School Gym, focusing on technical instruction using rowing machines. Participants learn the Rowing Dynamic warm-up, key strength development exercises, and core and flexibility routines designed by the school's Rowing Conditioning Coach. Completion of Level 1 is required to progress to Level 2.
- Level 2: Conducted on Albert Park Lake with instruction in single sculls (1 person per boat) and quad sculls (4 rowers per boat). Training covers safe boat entry and exit, static skills, balance, boat movement, and crew rowing with timing. Students are transported by mini-bus to the lake at 3:45pm and returned to school at 5:45pm.
Each session is capped at 16 participants to ensure quality instruction. This program provides boys with competitive rowing skills and techniques aligned with Brighton Grammar's secondary school rowing program. For inquiries and enrollment, contact bgsplus@brightongrammar.vic.edu.au during office hours (Monday–Friday, 10:00am–3:00pm).

Thinking of water sports - rowing?
Rowing offers an unparalleled full-body workout and a strong team environment, whether in a single scull or an eight-person sweep boat. Social rowing emphasizes fitness, technique refinement, and camaraderie on the water rather than intense competitive pressure, making it a powerful way to stay active.
For individuals looking to get involved, finding a suitable rowing club, securing boat time, or locating experienced coaches can be challenging, as the sport requires specialized equipment and safe access to waterways. Joining a club is typically the essential first step to participate.
