About Atılım Kürek Akademi

Atılım Kürek Akademi is a rowing school run by Atılım University on Mogan Lake in Gölbaşı, working from the university boathouse. It offers rowing lessons to the public as well as performance and hobby rowing, and its rowers also take part in competitions such as national championships and European university rowing events. Newcomers start with a six-hour basic course: the first lesson is on land and the remaining five hours are on the water. Once the course is complete and the instructor approves, participants can move on to regular training sessions. Lessons are taught in groups of one to four people, and you form your own group and state its size when booking. Each lesson lasts 50 to 55 minutes, with at most one lesson per day. The academy publishes clear rules. Bookings must be made at least one day ahead and cancelled at least 24 hours in advance, and you can hold no more than two bookings at a time. Arrive at least ten minutes early in sports clothes and shoes. Being able to swim is compulsory, under-18s need parental approval, and anyone with a health condition should get a doctor's approval first. Lessons cancelled because of the weather are made up later. Smoking and loud music are not allowed in the boathouse. Practical notes: book through the website or by phone.
