Advanced Sweep Rowing
Pre-requisite is completion of a summer rowing at the intermediate level, or equivalent skill as determined by coach.

Advanced rowers should be capable of rowing at least 30 spm (strokes per minute) and completing workouts of 6-8 miles of rowing in a typical practice. For rowers who learned the sport in UVRF programs, it usually takes a whole summer of rowing at the intermediate level to be ready for the advanced group. For those who rowed in HS or college and are getting back to the sport after a layoff, this is the right place to start.

Competitive Sweep Rowing
Pre-requisite is completion of a summer rowing at the advanced level, or previous competitive rowing experience.

Rowers will train to compete at sprint distances for Session I (2000 meters in open categories, 1000 meters in masters) and head race distances for Session II (approximately 3 miles.) The club typically competes in at least 3 regattas during Session I and 5 regattas during Session II. Competitive rowers should have a good base of aerobic fitness, and are encouraged to participate in the regattas that we attend. During pre-race weeks, rowers who are not able to attend an upcoming regatta may be asked to row as subs to allow racing boats time to practice with their race line-ups.
