Experience Required. Sessions include EXPERIENCED SWEEP AND
RECREATIONAL RACING RACING TEAM. Note: When electing to pay MONTHLY
($155.00), you need to use registration form to indicate MONTH(s) you
are signing up for. Arrive by 5:45 for 6:00am launch. Indicate
attendance availability using iCrew. A few common questions: "Are we
on land, or on the water for the spring season?" The answer is
(probably) both. Our goal is to get our classes on the water as
frequently as possible, but we are constrained by limitations outside
our control. With particular attention on weather (temperature, wind,
precipitation, visibility), river conditions (height, speed, and
amount of debris), and the athletes' ages and ability levels coaches
will make the judgment on the safety of getting on the water for a
given session. Always be prepared and dress/pack for both
possibilities. Coaches will not force athletes who feel uncomfortable/
unsafe to go on the river; depending on whether there is an assistant
coach, athletes who prefer to erg may need to do so without coaching
(if the majority of athletes prefer to go outside). From college
students to retirees, beginners to the very EXPERIENCED, men and women
of all ages and physical abilities can participate in Riverfront
Recapture classes for beginning, intermediate and EXPERIENCED ROWERS.
Classes are offered in both large, team boats (SWEEP ROWING) and
smaller, individual boats (sculling) in spring, summer, and fall, and
during the winter we train indoors. Financial assistance may be
available to adult rowers. To inquire, contact Jonathan Near by email
at jnear@riverfront.org.
