UVRF Novice Sweep Session 2 has spots available

[Executive Director]

If you have thought about trying sweep rowing (rowing with 1 oar along with 7 other folks in an eight person shell), then now is the time.

We are running Novice Sweep Session 2 starting Monday, July 6. 

It was not visible on Regatta Central for a while, so if you went to sign up and did not see it, it is available now.

Here is the link to the description on the UVRF website.

It will run for 4 weeks, M,W,F from 5:45-7:15 pm starting this coming Monday, July 6 through July 31.

Some sessions will be coached by Ryan Hickox and some by Chuck Nagle.

Cost is $210

You do need to register for a USRowing membership (there is a 60 day Learn to Row membership for $10 that can be upgraded to an annual Basic for $20).

I have attached a document telling how to join USRowing if you need to do that.

A swim test is also required, but you can sign a waiver in lieu of the test for Novice sweep.

Or you can take the attached swim test certification document to UVAC, CCB or Storrs Pond and have a lifeguard administer the test.

We do schedule UVRF administered tests at CCB, but the next one is Wednesday, July 8 at 6:00 pm.

If you have any questions, email me,

Chuck Nagle, Executive Director UVRF
