Eastern Shore Community Rowers: Masters Rowing for 18 years and older – 

Join us for a FREE Info Session April 20th from 8:30-9:30 at Evergreen 770 Port Street in Easton to meet the coaches and team members, learn about the 60-foot eight-person rowing shells to singles, and how rowing is the most fun exercise on the shore. “There is nothing else like it,” says Doug Webb, a new member who began recently and admits, “It has changed my life!”

ESCR will host two full Learn-to-Row Clinics evenings May 13-16, from 5:30-7:30, and Saturday, May 18, from 8:30-10:30.  And again May20-23 from 5:30-7:30, and Saturday May 25, from 8:30-10:30. The cost is $400 for these week-long, three-coach lessons of which 50% goes to your membership if you join.  ESCR is dedicated to teaching our community to row and offering more access to our beautiful rivers, so please ask about the scholarship program if cost is prohibitive!

Beginners are encouraged to join the Learn-To-Row clinics, or to take private lessons from one of ESCR’s accredited rowing coaches to acquire the skills needed for practices. “The only criteria,” says Board Safety Officer and registered nurse, Terry Gleim, “is that you be able to swim and strong enough to properly hold an oar.  If swimming is an obstacle, ESCR will assist in helping you learn.

All scheduled workouts are accompanied by a chase boat.  The rowing season runs from March – December with early morning workouts M, W, F and later morning rows on T&Th, as well as a 7:30 all-members Saturdays and evening rows for more experienced scullers during the summer.
