Your First Day On the Water Starts Here
Brockport Community Rowing is offering the community an opportunity to experience the sport of rowing firsthand for free.
Sign up for a one-hour session and learn about the boats and equipment, rowing commands, and the motions of rowing before heading out on the canal in an 8+ boat with experienced rowers.
You may also come to watch. The new Bicentennial Bridge is a great place to view the action!

No Prior Experience Is Required
This day is for anyone interested in learning more about rowing and deciding whether it’s the right sport for them.
Participants must be age 16 or older, be able to swim and tread water, and have personal health insurance coverage.
If the experience is a good fit, participants are encouraged to consider signing up for one of our upcoming Learn to Row Programs (8 classes).
Session Details
Sessions are limited to 8 participants per time slot on a first-come, first-served basis. Walk-ins are welcome; however, space is not guaranteed, and wait times may apply.
Wear comfortable, non-baggy clothing (loose clothing can catch in the seat) and socks (shoes are stationary in the boat and you must wear socks). Bring a water bottle and be ready to have fun.
