ADULT ROWING

This advanced rowing team is comprised of athletes with previous collegiate or high school rowing experience, or longtime members. Advanced practices are geared toward top-end fitness and developing gold-medal boat speed of our crews. Boats are balanced, fast and we use elite-level equipment such as RESOLUTES, Empachers, FluidDesigns, and Concept2 oars.

This is a competitive group, and in addition to training with the team, rowers are expected to do outside workouts. Some of our athletes cannot attend all three scheduled practices, but they train on their own at the gym, etc. Athletes need to handle high stroke rates, must be able to contribute to the speed of the boat, actively help balance the shells, and be coachable and positive team players.

There is no place in this club at any level for bad attitudes, negativity, or “clique” behavior. We are one team and support each other.

While all our masters’ programs are co-ed, a good portion of the time we do separate athletes into men’s and women’s boats at this advanced level. 

Our advanced rowing teams practice in singles, doubles, pairs, quads, fours, and eights, and lineups change each practice depending on who has signed up that day. We will row in light rain and light wind, but that isn’t very often. Practices are occasionally cancelled for weather, like stronger rain, lower temperatures, or high winds, and unfortunately, we can’t offer refunds for weather cancellations.

We understand that adult rowers have lives outside of the sport, and practicing with us might take some juggling. However, once people get started practicing, they usually want to make this a weekly part of their life.
