Programs & Registration
Registration for the first on-the-water session is open!
The first outdoor session will be 5 weeks long, starting Monday, May 6th. Novice classes will be focused on translating indoor skills to on-the-water rowing. Experienced classes will balance race preparation with recreational rowing opportunities. There will be sculling classes as well (though unfortunately no Friday 9am class this session due to coaching unavailability, and no Saturday sculling class due to regatta prep).
Rowers who completed learn-to-row class indoors over the winter should sign up for Novice classes. USRowing considers all rowers in their first year of rowing on the water as Novice. Promotions from Novice to Experienced during the outdoor season will occur based on coach evaluation. If you have not already indicated your availability for boathouse orientation meetings May 4th/5th, please do so as soon as you are able, on the ‘Boathouse Orientation’ tab of the Indoor Session 4 Google doc.
Pittsford Regatta:
Pittsford Regatta is Saturday, May 25th. Coaches have established and communicated tentative line-ups for: 1st and 2nd women’s 8+, women’s 4+, men’s 8+, men’s 4+. Designated race team practices are as follows:
- 1st Women’s 8: Monday evening, Wednesday evening
- 2nd Women’s 8: Wednesday evening, Sunday morning
- Women’s 4: Thursday evening, Sunday morning
- Men’s 4: Monday evening, Saturday morning (10am)
- Men’s 8: Wednesday evening (full line-up), Monday evening/Friday morning (partial line-up)
If you are on a race team, please make your best effort to attend as many of these practices as you are able, following the coach’s requirements for regatta participation.
If you are an experienced rower and NOT on a race team, you may sign up for any experienced sweep class. We are making every effort to make sure the practices are balanced between race line-ups and other rowers.
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.
