The Atlanta Rowing Club's Competitive Group rows 3x a week mainly in sweep boats. If you are interested in joining the group, please consider the following:

Target Group: All ARC members with adequate technical rowing ability, good fitness and strength, and a strong commitment to practice and race; at least one year of rowing and racing experience is recommended. Acceptance into the program is at the discretion of the coach.

Program Description: An environment and structure to promote competitive rowing: focused on training and technique; providing competitive opportunities for all participants; racing the most competitive line-ups in major regattas. Boats will be formed by the coaches, based on the individuals’ availability, skill, performance and experience; boats may be set up in different categories (masters A, B, lightweight, open, etc), and training will be done together as groups; the coaches will be in charge of training schedules and structures. Both sculling & sweep are included in this program. Practices will be rigorous and focused on strengthening, conditioning, and advanced technique. There will be erg tests and if necessary, seat racing during the season. The group has (2) coaches and rowers are divided to train with a coach based on skill level.

Cost: We will be charging all athletes $85/year for coaching
