A Program to Meet Your Needs

RowAmerica programming is seasonal so there is always a program available to meet your needs. There are no membership dues or additional registration fees beyond the cost of your seasonal program. Visit our Program FAQ page for detailed information on what to expect when you join a rowing program.

There are two types of rowing: sculling and sweep rowing. In sculling, each rower holds two oars and may be in a boat alone (a “single or 1x”), with two people (a “double or 2x”) or 4 people (a “quad” or 4x). In sweep rowing, each rower holds one oar and may be in a boat with 2 people (a “pair” or 2-), 4 people (a “four” or 4+/-) or 8 people (an “eight” or 8+). Fours may or may not have a coxswain on board to steer and lead the crew, and eights will always have a coxswain.

Individuals interested in a beginning rowing class can choose from the seasonal options listed under the Youth, Adult or Private Lesson tabs of our website. All Intro to Rowing classes will include complete instruction on safety, an introduction to rowing equipment and technology along with your first experience in a rowing shell. Winter Intro to Rowing classes will be land-based only.

With RowAmerica Greenwich, there is a way for anyone to participate in the sport of rowing.
