ADULT SWEEP PROGRAM 2024
The adult sweep program is divided into three sessions.
The first is in May for those wishing to get on the water early, when the water and weather may still be cold. The second two sessions are in summer and fall and are planned around designated regattas for those who choose to compete. All programs will take place at the Kendal waterfront site. Program fees for each session are noted below. Rowers who choose to compete will be responsible for additional racing entry fees, to be determined in advance of each regatta.
The Adult Sweep program is for those who want to train with a focus on maximizing technique and fitness, and for preparation for summer (1K/2K meter) and fall (5,000 meter) racing seasons for all who choose (not required) to race. Practice lineups and race entries may include options for 8+s, 4+s, 4x’s and 2x’s, in order to maximize training and opportunities for water time for all.
Regular attendance is encouraged. Coaches, with the intent of making each experience positive and competitive, will determine all daily lineups and race entries and may use seat racing and erg testing for boat selection. Rowers occasionally may be asked to cox a practice. Previous rowing experience is required.
