Thompson Boat Center-Intermediate Sweep

The Thompson boat Center Learn-to-Scull program is designed to give basic safety and handling instructions for the use of the 1-person sculls rented by the boathouse. Graduates of this class will receive a certification card that enables them to rent TBC hulls. This class is ideal for those looking for a new form of recreation and fitness. Rowing is an excellent low-impact cardiovascular activity, and the Potomac River runs though miles of national parkland and monuments, offering a beautiful setting for this activity.
