Programs & Registration
Registration for the first session of winter classes is open! This session will run from Saturday, Nov. 20th until Friday, Dec. 24th. Classes will be held every day except for Thanksgiving (Thursday virtual erg class). We’ll then take a break between Christmas and New Years Day, and start the next session on Monday, Jan. 3rd.
Indoor classes held at the Pittsford Indoor Rowing Center (PIRC) will include learn-to-row, experienced sweep, experienced sculling, and learn-to-scull (for experienced sweep rowers). Those who completed on-the-water learn-to-row class this summer are eligible for experienced sweep classes. Participants in indoor classes must be vaccinated.
We will also be offering virtual erg classes over Zoom, for those who have an erg at home (or have access to one). The club has 2 ergs that we rent out during the winter — please contact jenn@rochesterboatclub.org if interested in renting. The rental fee is reduced if you sign up for a virtual erg class.
Indoor classes will include learn-to-row, experienced sweep, experienced sculling, and learn-to-scull (for experienced sweep rowers). Indoor rowing may require proof of CoViD vaccination so that we can use the enclosed PIRC facility safely.
We are looking forward to seeing our new and returning rowers, and making sure everyone stays active, motivated, challenged, and engaged over the winter!
For questions regarding our programming, please email us at registrations@rochesterboatclub.org.

If you are not able to commit to a class for the current session, but would like to volunteer to sub, or to do approved make-ups from a previous session, please use this product to ‘register’, so we can make sure you are properly waivered. Subbing is contingent on coach approval, and does not guarantee that you will be boated.
Single rows are available to experienced rowers for either PIRC or virtual erg classes during this ‘flex’ session. Note that there are separate products for those classes, with different fees. Add your name to the tab for the class(es) you would like to attend, noting ‘SR’ after your name. The Daily Row Coordinator or coach will shade your name green if there is space for you in the class.
