Programs & Registration

Session 4 registration is open!

Indoor Session 4 is 6 weeks long, and programming is almost exactly the same as Session 3.  We are pleased to add the Friday evening happy-hour-and-a-half class back to our offerings — come join us!

We are offering learn-to-row classes twice a week (Monday and Saturday), so encourage your friends and family who want to give it a try.  This is the last opportunity to learn indoors; the next learn-to-row classes will be during the second on-the-water session, which begins in June.

Transitioning to On-the-Water:

Timing of transition to on-the-water rowing is dependent on when the water level is raised in the canal.  If we are able to get on the water before the end of Session 4, we will.  Conversely, if the canal opening is delayed, On-the-Water Session 1 might begin indoors.

Pittsford Regatta:

Looking ahead to the first regatta of the season, Pittsford Regatta is Saturday, May 25th. In order to be considered for a race line-up, you must already have rowed on the water, and you must participate in Indoor Session 4.  So, if you haven’t been rowing indoors this winter and want to race, now’s the time to get back into the swing!

(If you learned to row indoors with us this winter, you are not eligible for Pittsford Regatta, as there is not enough time to adequately prepare.  There are other regattas during the summer and fall that you can be considered for.)

For rowers who have just completed learn-to-row class:

Congratulations, you can now sign up for any class designated as novice!  The coaches will be guiding seating in the tanks to help you transition to rowing with our more experienced participants.  For the two class times that are shared between experienced rowers and learn-to-row (Monday nights and Saturday mornings), we have set aside a number of designated seats for novice rowers.  This means that you are guaranteed a seat for those classes, but may be seated either on the same side as the learn-to-row group or with the experienced 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.

For questions regarding our programming, please email us at registrations@rochesterboatclub.org.

Location/Parking

All indoor classes are held at the Pittsford Indoor Rowing Center (PIRC), at 2800 Clover St. in Pittsford.  The entrance is just south of the canal off Clover, on the east side of the road, and is marked with a sign.  Be cautious entering, as the driveway is steep and somewhat narrow.

Coaches

This session we are delighted to have the following coaching staff:  Anthony Petrella (Head Coach), Connor Wilt, Jack Hylbert, Bri Fennessey, Konstantin Hamilton.

(We hope to see Heidi Granville and Erin Kealey around occasionally…)
