Mystic River Rowing provides rowing opportunities for scullers of all levels, novice to elite.
Novice/Beginners
Our very popular “Learn to Scull Clinic” is held once each summer (2020 - Week of June 14). This one-week (Monday – Friday) program is open to adults and youngsters age 14 and up. Maximum 5 participants. Registration is through the YMCA.
Group and Individual Rowing
Once adults and youngsters have completed the Learn to Scull Program and/or demonstrated adequate competency, they may join our group rows several evenings each week. Our intermediate and elite scullers are welcome to row individually, using our community equipment or their private equipment.
Most MRR members row during the summer alone, or in informal groups, either in the early morning or late afternoon. However, there is a general calendar of events associated with and/or assisted by members of MRR.
