Novice Information

Why Row?

Rowing is incredible. It builds strength of mind and body by fusing athletes together in a unique and powerful way, creating thrilling races and long-lasting friendships. If you put your heart into it, it will change you for the better. There's no way to completely describe the feeling you get when a boat of athletes really clicks together the surge forward, the rhythmic pulse of muscles, the rush of water - flying might be almost as good.

If you're interested, we would LOVE to hear from you. You don't need ANY experience, you don't have to be in peak physical condition, and you don't have to make any commitments right away. The first couple weeks of school are purely for novices to get a taste of what rowing is all about.

So please, contact us by filling out the interest form, and don't hesitate to email our coaches and/or our club officers. We'd be more than happy to answer your questions.

The Novices Page will be updated towards the beginning of the fall semester with schedule changes and important information for interested rowers. Check back once in a while to make sure you don't miss anything!
