Message from the coaches:

 Welcome!   As part of the coached novice program, you'll be one of the newest members in the Rocky Mountain Rowing Club (RMRC).   As your rowing coach, my emphasis will be on safety and fun, in the process of gaining an appreciation of the sport of rowing.  You'll row "sweep" in our "eight" person rowing shell, steered by a coxswain, and in sweep oared "fours".  Once the weather and water warm up, you may choose to learn to row a single sculling boat.    One of our goals this year is for you to race in at least one regatta!  Before you know it, you'll be in love with this great sport!
