Programs & Registration
Registration for the first indoor session is open! The first indoor session will run for 6 weeks beginning Monday, November 11th. The planned schedule is below, including learn-to-row, experienced sweep, sculling, and virtual erg classes.
Early bird and volume discounts will be automatically applied. Early bird discount is available until midnight Thursday November 7th.
Outdoor flex session runs until Sunday, November 3rd. Classes for each week of flex will be determined on the Saturday before the week, and tabs posted. Boating will be on a first-come/first-served basis and will take experience level and any racing into account. Evening classes will start earlier and be shortened (5:45-7:15). Rowers can use make-ups/credits if they have them, or single rows if not. See the bottom of this page for single row products. (There are separate products for 90-minute weeknight and 2-hour weekend flex session classes.)
Events during flex:
- Head of the Charles, Boston, Saturday, 10/19
- Pull the Plug, Pittsford, Saturday, 11/2
- Last scull/sweep rows followed by fall workday, Sunday, 11/3
Financial support for rowing is available through the RBC ‘Row It Forward’ program. Contact nancys@rochesterboatclub.org to apply.
