Masters Rowing Teams
Participation on a BIAC Masters (Adult) Team
requires club membership and payment of equipment fees. These teams
practice both sweep and sculling, with focus on team boats (2-/x, 4x, 4+, 8+).
The Masters Teams are separated into Novice, Intermediate, Competitive
and Daylight Crew. The Novice, Intermediate and Competitive Teams each
offer three sessions per week and require an additional $80 monthly fee
for participation. Daylight Crew payments are on a per-session basis
($28). Each team offers opportunities to build on your current
competencies and advance based on your goals and interests.
