If you walk along the Hudson or Rondout Creek just after sunrise you will find most mornings the water calm and flat, like in the picture above.  That is when I take beginners on the first of, I hope, many days of rowing. If your heart longs to learn how that feels, let me know and we can set up your first lesson.  By coming to this website you have taken the first step.

Yeah, let’s get this one off your bucket list!  I, Coach Nelsie, will provide everything you need to learn sculling (rowing a shell with two hands on two oars) on the Hudson River and Rondout Creek.

To make an appointment please send an email to  therondoutrower@gmail.com with “Request for Rowing Appt” in the subject line.  

Please note rates for 2024 are $150 for first lesson and $75 for subsequent lessons.

Thank you so much for your interest!
