The best kept secret in the Hudson Valley

Sweep Rowing

Recreational sweep rowing, “open rowing,” makes up half of our regular, weekly coached sessions. “Open rowing” is available to both our annual and seasonal members who have completed our Learn to Row program or have acquired basic rowing skills at another club.

Recreational Rowing 2025

Our dedicated all-volunteer coaching staff  begins weekly coached sweep rowing sessions in early spring for "pod" groups who commit to specific training days and times.

Starting in May, more flexible open sweep rowing sessions are introduced and continued through the Fall. These sessions offer "open rowing" in eights, fours, or quad. The beginning and end of the rowing season are dependent on the weather and the water temperature of the Hudson River. 

Participants must register for their rowing slot by 7:00 PM the evening before their session. This flexibility allows members to adjust their weekly rowing schedule and select a session up until the night before.

Paid club members have access to the MHRA SignUpGenius schedule.
