Megunticook Rowing is pleased to announce open registration for spring youth rowing at the varsity and club level.

The season begins with indoor training at the Midcoast Recreation Center on Monday, March 28.

The Megunticook Rowing varsity team is designed for high school age girls and boys wanting to row at a competitive level and race in team boats.  The team will train five days a week indoors at MRC March 28 to April 25 and on the water beginning in late April. The varsity program will be coached by Tris Coburn and Will Schaetzke.

The club rowing program is designed for girls and boys aged 12-18, who are learning to row, or who prefer a more relaxed, noncompetitive, schedule. Practices will be three afternoons each week starting Tuesday, April 26. The program’s focus is an introduction to rowing, building technique and endurance, and enjoying time on the water. The club program will be coached by Bob Perkins.

For more information and to register, please visit megunticookrowing.org/youth-rowing-1 or email row@megunticookrowing.org.

Adult indoor rowing continues in March and April at Midcoast Recreation Center. This is a great introduction to the rowing stroke and a fabulous total body work out. Classes are coached by Anna Goodale. Registration is online at megunticookrowing.org.

Megunticook Rowing is also excited to announce free learn-to-row classes at the Midcoast Recreation Center in Rockport. Experienced coaches will teach the basics of the stroke and provide an introduction to the sport of rowing.

This is a great place to start if you are interested in adding the rowing machine into your workout routine, or hope to get on the water later in the season. These sessions are open to all ages. No experience required. Visit megunticookrowing.org/free-learn-to-row or email row@megunticookrowing.org to register.
