ADULT ROWING

There are many opportunities to join adult rowing! Depending on the season, sign up for one of our popular programs: Learn to Row (LTR), on-the-water Season Rowing, Indoor Erg Fitness programs, or, for cancer survivors, our Row Forward Program.

Indoor ErgFitness - Scituate S3

April 11- May 19 | 6 Weeks

Tuesdays 7:45am, Saturdays 7am & 8:15am

ErgFitness will continue for one more session at Scituate! All classes have interval training on an erg, but each has a different focus and intensity where you’ll improve your strength, cardio and endurance moving from the erg to the mat. These classes blend mobility, stretching and bodyweight exercises with rowing to help you learn proper technique for maximum efficiency and injury prevention.

Adult Spring

April 14 -May 16 | One off time slots $25ea

Spring rowing is very different from summer- it is designed for self-sufficient, experienced & patient rowers ready to get back on the water in varying early-season conditions. Use a calendar to chose & pay by time slot- it's an individual sign up but you are welcome to encourage your crew to sign up too! Rowers and coxn arrive together at the start time so all hands present can open the boathouse, rig the boats, LIFT & LAUNCH themselves, then clean & close-up after their row. Each 1.5 hour slot includes prep & clean-up and rowing time will vary based on prep and conditions. Please read all the details before signing up.

Adult Learn To Row (LTR)

Four (4) classes | 1.5hr classes

Session I: May 23- June 26 | Session II: July 6- Aug 16

Learn to Row starts on land with proper rowing technique and commands, rigging boats, plus safety at the boathouse and on the water. The next three classes are in a boat with three other rowers putting the practical into motion, with a coach as the coxswain. Classes roll through summer and then are by request in the fall and spring. Attendance is important since a boat needs four (4) rowers to go.

After completion of LTR, rowers can form new crews or join other crews if space is available, at a prorated amount for the remaining summer, or join the substitute rower list.

Adult Fall Season

Sep 8-Oct 19 | 6 Weeks | $200

Crisp mornings, golden light, and that perfect excuse to wear layers. Rally your crew, pick a crew name, designate a communications captain, and register for a set weekly time slot. Similar set up to our summer season but in a shorter time frame. Days available are Tuesday- Thursday plus weekend mornings. Register by 8/28 to get on the boat schedule.

There is an option to sign up as a sub only rower for a one-time fee. These will be limited and open to register after the boat schedule has been published.
