The Merrimac River Rowing Association (MRRA) will be ON THE WATER starting in April. We have Learn To Row programs starting in June with sign-ups happening now.

• Learn To Row - SCULLING:  Meets on Tues and Thurs from 6:30 to 8:30pm, with two Saturday classes. No experience necessary. Sculling is your best option for rowing by yourself in a single or with others in small groups.  Each rower in a sculling boat holds two oars.  >> More Information
• Learn To Row - SWEEP: Monday and Wednesday, June and July (twelve sessions over six consecutive weeks).  No experience necessary.  This is team-oriented rowing in sweep boats that seat four or eight rowers with one oar each.  >> More Information
• Masters Sweep:  Monday and Wednesday evenings starting in mid-May, 6pm - 8pm.  Some prior sweep experience (high school, collegiate, or masters) is expected. >> More Information
• Open Sweep: TBD.  If there is sufficient interest, MRRA typically supports an Open Sweep team of post-collegiate rowers who get together two or three times per week with coached or self-directed practices.  There is usally an intent to race in at least a few regional regattas during the summer and fall rowing seasons. >> More Information
