Learn to Row
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!
Term 1:
May 30-June 22
Tuesday and Thursday 6:00-7:30 PM
We add classes throughout the summer depending on demand. Please check RegattaCentral for the current schedule and contact us at row@westfordrowing.org with any scheduling questions.
Masters Rowing
The Masters Rowing program consists of adult men and women of various skill levels interested in both recreational and competitive rowing. The program focuses on enjoying the sport, participation in local regattas, and improving fitness while deepening mastery of both sculling and sweeping disciplines.
Practice is at the following times:
Mon 5:30am-7:00am (Uncoached) Mon 6:00pm-7:30pm (Coached)
Wed 5:30am-7:00am (Uncoached) Wed 6:00pm-7:30pm (Coached)
Fri 5:30am-7:00am (Uncoached)
Attend as many or as few practice per week your schedule allows. One registration gives you access to both morning and evening practices.
Masters Rowing includes Logbook Sculling.
Logbook Sculling
Logbook Sculling is for rowers who have passed the WCR Captain’s Test and have been cleared to row WCR club singles/doubles. Boats and oars are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
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.
Sculling Clinic
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
Private Lessons
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.
