What is a Queer Learn To Row Cohort

These small, queer-led practices are only for trans, women, non-binary folks, and other individuals who feel out of place in general spaces. SCRC is proud of its diverse coaching staff and inclusive membership base, but we also recognize the importance of having a separate space for others to feel free to unmask and be completely themselves.You will progress through the rowing instruction with the same group of athletes each week, learning and practicing together. Teamwork is essential in rowing, and this program structure optimizes everyone’s development.

  • Cohorts meet for 4-practices on Thursdays 6-8PM

  • Space is limited. Sign up early to secure your spot!

  • Upon successful completion of the program, you will be ready to join our Masters (Adult) coached program, with the option to attend morning and evening practices up to 5 days a week! Inquire about membership discounts after completing your cohort.

  • Practices are weather dependent. If unable to be on the water, training will be held on land.

  • We also hold 2.5 hour Free Introduction to Rowing Workshops that are open to everyone. Click HERE for more info.

WHAT TO BRING / WEAR

  • Any medical devices (EpiPen, inhaler, etc.) in a waterproof bag

  • Water bottle

  • Hat and/or sunglasses

  • Suitable workout clothes that are comfortable for outdoor activity, with the possibility of wind and a bit of water;

  • Sneakers (for land workouts)

  • Layers and/or a change of clothes for afterward, if needed

  • Rain gear, depending on the weather

WHAT TO AVOID WEARING

  • Clothes that are overly baggy or bulky, which can get caught in the sliding tracks of the seat. Spandex is not necessary, but clothes that are reasonably form-fitting are ideal for rowing.

  • Cotton. Cotton does not insulate when wet, dries slowly, and performs best on land. Basic tech fabrics such as polyester and fleece can take the occasional splash and will keep you more comfortable on the water.

  • Valuable or otherwise irreplaceable clothes. While rowing is not a particularly rough sport, it does involve carrying things on shoulders, close encounters with river water, and perhaps an occasional run-in with the aforementioned seat tracks. Outfit accordingly.
