The best kept secret in the Hudson Valley

Sweep Rowing

Recreational sweep rowing is the heart of our program. Open rowing (coached sweep sessions) are available to all members who have taken our Learn-to-Row program, or have gained basic skills at another rowing program.

Recreational Rowing 2024

Our generous, all-volunteer coaching staff has been providing weekly coached sessions, typically beginning with "pods" in the spring season months of April and May. Members are expected to make a commitment to their pod for the designated period.

More flexible, open sweep rowing sessions will begin on Sunday, April 7, 2024. Weekday morning "open sweep row" sessions will be added the week of May 13th and continue through the early fall. On May 15th we are bringing back evening 6:00 PM open rows on a trial basis.  

MHRA offers open boat rowing in our eights, fours, or quad. All members must register for their rowing slot by 8:00 PM the evening before their planned rowing session. The open boat sessions provide flexibility to vary your weekly rowing schedule and choose a rowing session up to the night before.

Paid club members are granted access to the MHRA SignUpGenius schedule.
