To be assigned a seat in practice, rowers must sign up with their availability by noon, Thursday the week prior via the web link on the club's homepage. By doing this, coaches can make boat lineups for the weekly schedule.
Rower-Coxswains
All AARC rowers are expected to contribute to practices by either coxing boats or driving safety launches. Please read the information linked below and remember to take the coxing quiz (located on the home page).
Advancement
Based on the speed of rower development and evaluation by the coaching staff, a technical rower can move up to more advanced rowing. Novice members are encouraged to complete a minimum of 4 months of "on the water" rowing before advancement to Open Sweep Rowing.
AARC endeavors to make rowing accessible to the broad community. Scholarships are available to those with financial need to support participation.
