Rowing

General Information

All on the water classes are held at the Dewolfe Boathouse, 619 Memorial Drive, Cambridge. These classes always go! If unrowable water conditions prevail, then there will be land drills and workouts substituted.

For those new to this sport, you will need to bring training shoes, shirt, shorts or tights (close fitting so as not to become entangled in the seat assembly) sweats and a light waterproof jacket. There are locker rooms and showers available with day lockers (please bring your own lock for your security). The sport requires that boats be at full complement before they are put on the water, so timeliness and commitment are of the essence of this endeavor. The performance and skills necessary to steer and take control of a crew and boat require a coxswain for all classes. Safety instruction and review are also part of every course. Please direct course content and related questions to rspratt@bu.edu.

May (Summer) Masters Rowing and Sculling

Get a jump start on summer! Participants will engage in rigorous workouts and technical drills. All aspects of the rowing discipline are emphasized, including sculling. A requirement to participate as a coxswain, on a rotational basis, might be necessary as part of this course. Prerequisite: completion of Continuing, Intermediate, or Advanced Rowing or Sculling courses at Boston University, or equivalent.

A Boston University Boating Swim Test is required for all on the water classes. A current (5 year validity) Boston University Boating Swim Test card is the only certification accepted.
