Programs & Registration
Outdoor Session 4 registration is open! If you’re an experienced rower on a race team, please be sure to use the specific Race Team products to register, so that there are enough spots for people who aren’t racing.
Outdoor Session 4 will be 6 weeks long, starting Monday, August 26th. We will be offering learn-to-row, novice sweep, experienced sweep, learn-to-scull, and novice/experienced sculling classes, as well as specific race team practices for fall regattas. No classes will be held Saturday Sept 28th or Sunday Oct 6th due to regattas — classes affected are pro-rated.
We are unfortunately unable to offer the Friday morning sunrise sweep class this session due to staffing. However, we have added a Saturday afternoon (12-2) experienced sweep class. (This is in place of the Saturday morning 8-10 class, which will be used for race teams.) We’re also unable to continue the Saturday morning sculling seats based on low anticipated enrollment.
Promotions from Novice to Experienced during the outdoor season will occur based on coach evaluation. If you are currently in a Novice class, you should sign up for Novice classes in this session unless informed otherwise by the head coach.
If you are just finishing Learn-to-Row class, you should sign up for Novice classes unless informed otherwise by the head coach.
Regattas:
Fall racing season is nearing! The following regattas occur during Sessions 4 and 5.
- Liftbridge Regatta, Sat, Sept 28th — anticipated W8A+, W8B+, W4+, M8+, Novice W8+
- Head of the Genessee, Sun, Oct 6th — anticipated W8A+, W8B+, W4+, M4+
- Head of the Onondaga, Sun, Oct 13th — anticipated W8A+, W8B+, M4+
- Pull the Plug, Sat, Nov 2nd — anticipated W8A+, W8B+,W4+, M4+
Race team practices for Session 4 are as follows (subject to minor adjustments, please stay tuned):
- W8A: Sat 8am, Sun 8am
- W8B: Mon 6pm, Wed 6pm
- W4, Liftbridge: Mon 6pm, Sun 8am
- W4, Head of the Genessee: Mon 6pm, Sat 8am
- M8/M4: Wed 6pm, Sat 8am
There are separate products for the race team practices, please be sure to register for those rather than just for Experienced Sweep. If you are in different boats for the two regattas (applies to W8B and W4s) please sign up for all three relevant classes (Mon 6pm, Wed 6pm, Sat/Sun 8am) if possible. Because those line-ups vary, race team rowers may not always be boated with their regatta line-up, and may be boated in a non-race-team boat during some practices.
Novices who are racing: Please sign up for both novice class times (Thurs 6pm, Sat 10am) if possible. There isn’t a separate product for novice racers…
As usual, early bird and quantity discounts will be available and will be automatically applied.
Important Note: Quantity discounts are intended for individual use, not for sharing between family members. Please register for classes for one person at a time.

Race team practice for W8B. W4. If you are in either of these line-ups for Liftbridge and/or Head of the Genessee, please register for this practice.
There are 15 individual rowers that are in one or both of the two regattas for these boats. Because the line-ups are different for Liftbridge and HoG, the coaches may choose to alternate between the two sets of line-ups each Monday. For the few people that are only rowing in one of the regattas, this means that you will not always necessarily be in a line-up for a particular practice. When that happens, we will either boat you in a non-race-team boat if there is a seat available, or not boat you and give you a credit towards the following session. (The two W4 line-ups, which are completely different for the two regattas, each have a separate practice which is just for their line-up.)
