Programs
Learn-to Row
Our Learn-to-Row program focuses on the basics of rowing. We start all students out on ergs (rowing machines) so you can learn the proper movements for your row. You will learn how to safely handle the boats, and most importantly, you will learn to scull out on the water. We keep our Learn-to-Row sessions small, so each student is able to benefit from personalized advice from our experienced coaches.
See the Learn-to-Row page for more details.

Junior Competitive Program
Our Junior Competitive Program is for those aged 13-18 who wish to compete in regattas. There is a set training program designed to not only build technique, but also strength and endurance. Junior Competitive rowers are expected to attend all scheduled practices and encouraged to attend regattas, though the latter are not mandatory. Youths who prefer to have a more relaxed row, or are currently unable to commit to the full training schedule should join the Recreational Program (more information below).
See the Junior Competitive Program page for more details.
