Adult Rowing
In summer and fall of 2020, all rowing is taking place in singles and household doubles only. Returning SRA members with at least one year of experience, including 2020 novices, are eligible. Novice programs remain suspended. To subscribe to SRA’s newsletter and receive updates, email registration@srarowing.com and include the word “subscribe” in the subject line.

Sammamish Rowing Association’s masters programs are for adults of all ages, fitness levels, and experience levels. Whether you are an expert rower or have never touched an oar before, SRA has a program for you.
Beginner rowers go through SRA’s Learn to Row series to become proficient in a variety of boats. After completing Learn to Row, rowers can row independently in club-owned small boats or can join one of SRA’s four masters teams, spending one to two years on the novice squad before moving to the experienced team. All four masters teams welcome both recreational and competitive rowers. Competitive rowers represent SRA at local, regional, and national regattas. The teams are distinguished primarily by their different practice times, but each team has its own personality and culture. All masters teams practice three days a week, with coaches providing optional land-based workouts on the off-days for rowers who wish to build fitness, stamina, and a competitive edge. |
September Masters Rowing: 2020
Dear SRA Masters Rower,
SRA is pleased to continue our programming for masters and juniors in September. The announcement below provides an overview of upcoming programming. In addition, we have compiled an FAQ document to answer more questions. Additionally, please consult the September Rowing Handbook for everything you need to know to get rowing in September.
Details
Classes will start after Labor Day on Tuesday, September 8, and end Friday, October 2. We will be offering five different classes to choose from at a variety of times in the morning. Some sessions are twice per week, others are three times per week.
Each session will also begin with a mandatory information session over Zoom video conference. These sessions will take place on Wednesday, September 2nd and Tuesday, September 3rd during your normal class time.
There will be no September independent rowing option: only members with a pre-existing annual IRC will be able to row independently. We encourage you instead to sign up for one of our coached programs.
September programming is open to all masters rowers with at least one year of rowing experience (2020-2021 novices are eligible). All rowing will be done in singles only (doubles are possible for members of the same household). Rowers do NOT need to have 1x experience to participate.
Rowers will NOT be at the boathouse for the entire time block, but need to be available during the entire time block for the duration of the month. After registration and prior to the start of the program, rowers will be assigned an arrival time at the boathouse for their session. Rowers will be at the boathouse for 90-100 minutes and will launch in groups of five every 15 minutes. In order to best serve our rowers, coaches may adjust rower training times based on the skill and speed of athletes as we move through the month. If you have more specific time constraints, please contact Ethan Currie at ethan.currie@srarowing.com.
We are very excited to continue expanding our programming of coached sessions. But in order to keep our rowers safe and healthy, the programming and the protocol around the boathouse will be very different from what our rowers are used to. We ask that all members read the September Rowing Handbook to familiarize themselves with the current boathouse rules and regulations.
Registration
Registration will open on Monday, August 24th at 7:00 AM. Registration will close Sunday August 30th, or when programs sell out.
Programs sold out quickly for July and August registration, so act fast! If a session is sold out, we encourage you to sign up for the waitlist. This helps us to accurately gauge demand and determine how best to improve programming in the future.
