Membership
QUALIFICATIONS
Must be over 18 years old and not in a current high school or club program. You need to know how to swim, and have no physical limitations that would prevent you from rowing. Members must also be willing to follow club rules.
TO JOIN
Complete the application form below and we will get back to you to let you know about the next steps in the application process.
If you are new to the sport we offer private lessons for new members. We also encourage you to look for learn-to-row programs in the area in order to get more experience. Space is limited. If we do not have any openings, those interested will be put on a waiting list.
NEW MEMBERS
If your application is approved, new members will receive a handbook that explains the rules, aims and history of the club. Initial rowing lessons are all in “gigs”, one-person training boats. After about five or six lessons scheduled according to our coach’s availability, most people are ready to row in gigs on their own.
After 50 miles, new members can be approved to row in team boats. After about 200 miles in a gig, most people are reevaluated by a coach and may be promoted to a more advanced rowing shell. If a new member has sculling experience, an exception to these guidelines may be made.
