    This is your first opportunity to meet the coaches and to learn more about the sport of rowing.   This year’s meeting will once again be hosted at the Jamestown Savings Bank Ice Arena.  Bring your parents to hear the coaching staff discuss items such as the upcoming season schedule, CRLA’s creation and history, and additional benefits of rowing.

    Returning rowers are also expected to attend.  This will be a great opportunity for you to meet your new teammates and hear about the new season schedule. There have been a lot of changes since last year so I hope to see you there!

    I look forward to seeing you all soon!

    The April Learn-to-Row program is designed to help transition potential members into the club as early in the season as possible.  The program is open to anyone over the age of 15 interested in learning more about the sport.

    Registration on Saturday April 14, will begin at 8:30am with instruction beginning promptly at 9:00. The schedule will include a 2 hour "dry-land" training session and a 1 hour "on the water experience". While on land, we will cover rowing terms and safety, introductory technique on indoor rowing machines, and dock box instruction. Then it will be time to take to the water in one of the CLRA's beautiful rowing shells.

    The following week; Monday, April 16, through Friday, April 20, the program will continue each night at 6:00pm. At the end of the 6 day course, you will know basic rowing terms and safety, be able to use a rowing ergometer correctly, as well as comfortably row in a racing shell on the Chadakoin river and Chautauqua Lake. This week long program was created based on feedback from previous classes so we hope you will all join us for this opportunity!

    Beginning in 1997 as an exhibition row for the newly formed Pittsford Crew, a high school club, the Pittsford Regatta has grown to the two day event it is today.  Featuring Master rowing on Saturday morning and High school sweep rowing Saturday afternoon and Sunday, the Regatta takes place in the beautiful Village of Pittsford, on the Erie Canal.  Masters events will have a 1600 meter Head Race starting at the flood gates near Bushnell's Basin.  High School events will have a straight, 1100 meter Sprint Race course running in two lanes beginning just east of the Mitchell Road Bridge.

    Masters events are Head Race style, culminating in an award ceremony.

    High School races are two lane Sprint Races with heats, semis and finals.  Saturday the HS Girls fours and Boys eights will compete and Sunday the Boys fours and Girls eights will be on the water.

    All races will finish in the center of Pittsford Village along Schoen Place allowing excellent viewing of the finish line.  Also, the entire course is visible from the towpath that follows the canal.  A word of caution: rules prohibiting coaching from shore will be strictly enforced by the USRA race officials.
