skulling/rowing in oerlikon/zurich city?

Hi,

I am interested in doing some working out etc, but im in switzerland for the summer, so paying 150chf for a month of indoor activity seems a bit odd to me.

Im looking for a way to row/skull on a river in the morning? Nothing crazy, im not in great shape (yet) and i dont think i could handle anything like rapids or kayaking.

im in oerlikon basically right next to the train station. I would like to stay around there, so i can do something in the mornings. my train pass is the one that works only after 9AM.

any help in this area? i have no equipment and im a broke student/intern too.

i dont think i could make this harder to answer if i tried...haha.

also, i have no arms. no no, im j/k. but any help would be great! thanks!

Try swimming against the current in the Limmat?

Sarcasm. No wait. Serious.

Final answer, serious. It's a fantastic workout and you don't need a boat.

I know someone who gets up every morning at 4 to go rowing on the Limmat . She's with a club: http://www.rcz.ch/.

The site's in German, but if you mail in English I'm sure you'll get an answer. Don't know about costs...
