eRows with Alice (Level 2)

Alice Henderson offers coached sessions on Wednesday and Friday mornings. These are technical sculling classes with a bit of cardio. Members row at their own pace and are given individual coaching attention. A participant describes the sessions as "...specific to each person's needs," appreciating Alice's ability to "find a solution to that specific problem." For more information, or if you are interested in joining a session, contact Alice Henderson. Ready to sign up for Everybody Rows (eRows)? Book here.

Competitive Sculling with Mike (Level 4) 

Coached by Mike Still, this program is for scullers focusing on improving their fitness level and sculling technique. Most sessions include a video review. Although many members of the group compete, that is not a necessary prerequisite. Practices are held Tuesday and Thursday 8-9:30am, and Saturday 9-10:30am. Scullers make a monthly commitment for 1-3 sessions/week, with coaching fees based on the number of sessions attended. There is also a single-session drop-in rate. If you are interested in joining a practice, contact Heidi Schley.
