Master / Adult Row Information Master's Training Program Schedule: Training Schedule Frequently Asked Questions: 2008 Info   Master's Rowing Program: On the Water Our Master's Rowing Program starts in May 12th and runs through the end of October or early November. We offer instruction, recreational rowing, and competitive rowing opportunities for interested participants. Both sweep rowing (eight's and four's) and sculling (singles, doubles, and quads) are offered. Historically, we have held approximately nine to ten scheduled practices per week - the exact schedule is confirmed once we determine the level of interest and number of participants. As an example, last year we offered rowing sessions from 5:30 AM - 7:00 AM and from 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM, each approximately five times per week. This generally includes a Saturday morning session, but not a session on Sunday. We welcome adult rowers of all ages, shapes, sizes, and skill levels. A "Master" rower is considered to be 27 years old or older, though we will allow anyone 21+ to row with us. The annual program fee is $450 plus a $35 annual membership fee. Our rowing program fee is $450 plus a membership fee of $35, and is based on a twelve-month cycle from the date of your membership purchase.  Membership renewal is based on your individualized anniversary date.  We also offer indoor training for up to 6 months during the months of Dec-May for the fee of $200 (may change year to year).  This fee is in addition to the rowing fee, but if you join SRA for indoor training in the winter, you may row on the water until the 1st official day of spring rowing (May 12th in 2008), and then you would join the Rowing portion of the program on May 12th.  Each potential member can participate in three rowing sessions (all three sessions must take place within two weeks from the date of your initial session) prior to committing to a membership.  By then, it will be a no-brainer – you’ll join!  A waiver is needed prior to your first trial session.  Find online at: http://www.saratogarowing.com/forms.html - click on the Master’s Waiver form.  The Registration Form and Clothing Form (when available) are also accessed by the above link. Lastly, due to the large numbers of adult rowers interested in the SRA program, we find communicating via e-mail to be most efficient. Please e-mail your e-mail address to me or to our Business Manager, Anne Schwartzman, or call Anne during office hours, Mon-Fri 10-4 at 587-6697. - Bob Tarrant, SRA Masters Coach
