Recreational / Masters Rowing
About the Program
The Recreation Rowing program is designed for the Chautauqua Lake Rowing members who want to learn the sport of rowing, enjoy the beauty of the Chadakoin River and Chautauqua Lake, and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow members. Through the sport of rowing, members could hope to improve fitness, balance, and flexibility; all while learning more about teamwork. While competition is not the main goal, we will offer the opportunity for competition to those who are interested. Competition could be as informal as inter-club “meets” or as formalized as attending actual regattas.
There are no tryouts or attendance requirements for the program. However, as with any endeavor, regular attendance generally results in better technique and outcomes.
