Masters Club Row
What is this team & Who is it for?
Club rows are primarily coached sessions which include drills and planned workouts. These sessions will be at a lower intensity than race practices, with less of a technical focus than TnT sessions. Racing is optional for Club rowers.
Prior rowing (and preferably racing) experience is required to participate in Club rows. Members coming up through WBC Learn-to-Row and TnT programs must have achieved “graduation” from TnT and/or be referred by their TnT coaches.
