After completion of the LTS class

Immediately after successful completion of the LTS class, the sculler is invited to become a Full Member of AARC and participate in our coached Open Sculling Program. The first four weeks immediately following the completion of your class are offered at a discounted rate as a trial period. This allows the new sculler to experience continued growth in skills, fitness and comfort on water and confirm that rowing and AARC are a fit. Please note there is no flexibility on which 4 weeks are offered at a discount. After the 4-week Open Sculling Trial period, we hope you will continue to row with us. If you do, you will need to register for the remainder of the Open Sculling Program season and pay appropriate seasonal fees, as well as upgrade your USRowing membership.

You will receive more information about registering for the Open Sculling Program via email once you have started your LTS class.

• $365 for the 4-class program or $275 for Students (college, professional/graduate students) and Veterans
