Adult rowers of all ages and abilities are welcome! In addition to singles and doubles available for recreational use, we also offer coached programming for adults who have completed at least a Learn to Row (scull or sweep) and now want to row on a regular basis in a coached environment.
Those wishing to participate in coached sessions must be members of OAR. Additional season fees are assessed to cover the cost of running the coached season (eg: coach/admin time, launch fuel). Exception: Beginning rowers who join the club are automatically enrolled in Novice sessions at no additional charge.
On-water practices are generally 2 hours. Rowers are encouraged to show up 15 minutes prior to practice start time to help prepare and set up equipment for the day.
The schedule varies depending on season and time of year due to length of daylight. Also check our calendar to see the detail of when coached practices are scheduled.
- Spring: On-water rowing, opt-in racing of 1k-2k distances, usually March through June
- Fall: On-water rowing, opt-in racing of 5k distances, usually July through early November
- Winter: On-land training (indoor rowing machines, free weights, body circuits, yoga, mobility), usually December through February
