Open Sweep Print
To row with the MRRA, you must be a member of the Club. The only exception to this rule is for certain community access programs such as the popular Learn-To-Row programs which affords the general public opportunities to learn the basics of sculling and sweep rowing without a commitment to an MRRA membership. Prior rowing experience is expected for all programs below, except where noted. If you are looking to Learn To Row, please visit that web page for programs designed for those without any prior experience. Student Memberships: Restrictions apply: Must be full-time student age 18 - 24; Rowing season is restricted to June 1 through August 15; Student Members may not row Class A boats; Hours for sculling are restricted to after 9am any day. Some or all of these restrictions may be relaxed with Board permission for Open Sweep rowers.
