Westford Community Rowing offers several programs on a year round basis for both novice and experienced rowers. Rowing can truly be a lifelong sport. WCR has members ranging in age from their twenties to seventies, and it's never too late to start.
Go to RegattaCentral to see the current schedule and pricing, and to sign-up for all programs. Please direct any questions to row@westfordrowing.org.
Find the program that interests you for more details.
Our Learn-to-Row programs are ideal for those who never held an oar or those looking to get back into the sport. Rowers will be given an introduction to rowing biomechanics and terminology, and will soon be rowing in boats in a safe and fun environment. No experience is necessary to join!

REGISTRATION OPENS SOON
Logbook 2024 Season: April 14, 2025-November 1, 2025
Once a rower has passed the WCR Captain's Test, they will receive credentials to access iCrew, our online boat reservation system.
Logbook sculling is not available during coached sessions.
This program is for active sweep rowers who would like some focused time and instruction sculling in a 1x, either a Zephyr recreational single or one of our "skinny" racing singles. This program will support your sculling goals, which might include:
Trying sculling to see if you like it
Building confidence to take out a single during a masters practice when the numbers don't divide perfectly into team boats, or
Acquire skills and experience necessary to pass the Captain's Test and scull on your own outside of team practice.
This program meets two consecutive weekends:
Saturday 8:00-10:00AM
Sunday 8:00-10:00AM
Please email row@westfordrowing.org if interested in a sculling clinic.
We offer 90 minute private lessons for 1 or 2 people.
If for 2 people, the lesson can be in either singles or a double.
