“The other thing that keeps me coming back is having a place to push myself to the maximum- my maximum physically, my maximum mentally, emotionally- just pushing myself and discovering what my limits are. I don’t think I’ve discovered what my limits are. I’ve touched them physically, but I want to keep pushing that and see how far I can go.”

-Susan Cameron, Evening Team Rower

About SRA's Masters Programs

Beginner rowers go through SRA’s Learn to Row course to become proficient in a variety of boats.  After completing Learn to Row, rowers join one of SRA’s masters teams, spending one to two years on the novice squad before moving to the experienced team. After a full season on a novice squad, rowers also have the option to row independently in club-owned small boats through a Small-Boat Membership. Adult rowers also have options for personal boat storage and private lessons.
​
All SRA masters teams welcome both recreational and competitive rowers. Competitive rowers represent SRA at local, regional, and national regattas. Most masters teams practice three days a week (the Small Boat Team practices twice weekly), with coaches providing optional land-based workouts on the off-days for rowers who wish to build fitness, stamina, and a competitive edge. SRA's masters teams are distinguished primarily by their different practice times, but each team has its own personality and culture.
