NEW! Learn and gain confidence!

A new series of rowing clinics allows LTR participants and CCMR members to safely progress from rowing more stable single recreational (rec) shells to a variety of racing shells. Novices in both rec and racing shells row along the pond’s Shore Path until their confidence and skills permit them All Pond access. Certified coaches will rate CCMR members for boat level and pond rowing path.

We invite you to browse and choose from the offerings described below:

Learn to Row (LTR)

Recreational Novices

Progress from Rec to Racing Shells

1. Rec Shell/Shore Path Rated Members

These members may row during free rows when a scheduled launch boat is on the water. Rowers can further develop their skills and confidence through Weekend Skills Clinics. They must demonstrate safety, boat set up, recovery from a flipped boat, maneuverability, and ability to navigate in light winds to receive their Rec Shell/All Pond rating.

Launch patrol: Mornings TBD during the weeks of June 28- July 2, July 12-16, Aug 2-6

2. Racing Shell/Shore Path Rated Members

These members may attend the “Intro to the Racing Shell” Weekend Skills Clinic to transition to less stable racing shells. Coaches will grant a Racing Shell/Shore Path rating when rowers demonstrate consistent safety, balance, and maneuverability. Members may then use designated racing shells during free rows, and attend additional Weekend Skills Clinics such as “Oars Off the Water,” and/or Private Coaching to improve their skills.
