Our intermediate rec program is for youth rowers that have completed at least one prior season of high school summer camps, beginner rec program, or competitive program. It is intended as a stepping stone between our beginner rec program and our competitive program.

Intermediate rec rowers will do a mixture of sweep and sculling in different boat classes. Program focus points are technique, fitness, and having fun out on the water!

Intermediate rec is typically 1 evening a week for 8 weeks at a time. We try to offer multiple sessions of intermediate rec in the fall and spring each year- check the sidebar for open registrations.

Intermediate rec is open to 7th-12th grade rowers that have completed at least one prior season of high school summer camps, beginner rec program, or competitive program.

If your child only did middle school camp with us this summer, they need to do a season of beginner rec before moving up to intermediate rec.

Program cost is $350.

We have full and partial scholarships that are available on a financial need basis. Please email juniors@austinrowing.org for scholarship info.

Yes! Prior rowing experience is not necessary, but all campers must be comfortable swimmers.

• Comfortable shorts and tshirt that are not too baggy, (baggy clothing tends to caught in the moving parts on the boats).
• Tennis shoes and socks. We will do some on-land warmups and rowers need socks to wear in the boats.
• Sun and heat protection: hat, sunscreen, water bottle. (If you have a metal water battle, please cover it with a sock. Heavy metal bottles can damage the inside of boats.)

• All coaching staff have multiple years of prior rowing experience, current CPR/AED certification, and are Safesport trained and background-checked through USRowing.
• A coach safety boat accompanies each training session on the water.
