CRI adult programs are for rowers of all athletic backgrounds and ages. We offer a variety of programs to match any skill level or competitive interest in self paced group lessons.
If you have never done anything athletic, we welcome you! And for adults with athletic backgrounds or experience, there are many pathways to integrating rowing into your life. All our programs take place in one of the most beautiful locations on Boston’s Charles River and in a boathouse that’s won international recognition for it's function and beauty. If you imagined taking yourself on a lifelong athletic journey, rowing could be your pathway!
Sweep Rowing or Sculling - What's the difference?
Sculling: Two oars per rower. Row in a one-, two-or four-person shell. Sculling allows for greater independence as you explore the river and your skill development in a group setting. Find the immediate feeling of connectivity to the water, the boat, and your own movements.
Sweep Rowing: One oar per rower. Row in an eight- or four-person shell. Sign up with friends or simply meet people from all parts of the Boston community. Teamwork and comraderie with your fellow rowers is the name of the game. Move together as one, glide down the river together, and enjoy all that comes from being in sync on the water.
