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.

Pre-Season & Open Rowing

The 2026 pre-season runs from April 13 through May 10. Beginning in May, we will transition to more flexible Open Sweep Rowing sessions, which will continue through the fall season.

Registration & Sign-Up Guidelines

Participants must register for their rowing slot by 7:00 PM the evening before their scheduled session.

This system allows members the flexibility to adjust their weekly schedule and select sessions up until the night before rowing.

  • Only paid Annual or Passport Members have access to the MHRA SignUpGenius schedule.

  • Boats that are not filled by 7:00 PM the night before will be canceled.

  • Quad sign-ups are limited to one per week per rower. If seats remain unfilled by 5:00 PM the night before, rowers may sign up for a second (or additional) quad seat.

Sign up via the MHRA SignUpGenius schedule to reserve your spot.

Remember, the start and end of the rowing season are dependent on weather conditions and Hudson River water temperatures.
