Duluth Rowing Club: Programs

The DRC Junior Rowing Program is for kids 13 years old through the summer they graduate from High School.

The junior rowing season starts the Monday after school is out for the summer and ends with the NWIRA Championship Regatta.  Juniors practice from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Monday through Friday. 

This group learns to row in eights, fours with coxswains, quads, pairs, doubles and singles.  They work on rowing techniques and fitness wth the goal of rowing well and fast. 

The juniors have 3-5 regattas they can compete in each summer.  These regattas are located in Minneapolis, Duluth, Kenora Ontario, and the NWIRA Championship Regatta which rotates among member clubs.  Some juniors also row in our fall regatta Death Row.

We want the junior rowers to row well and have fun with their friends on the water.

First year junior rower will attend our "Novice Camp".  This runs for the first 2 weeks of practice from 10 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday.  After the Novice Camp first year rower join the other juniors rowing from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.

This class is for adults who want to learn to row.  You will learn the basics of rowing.  The goal of this class is to teach adults the skills they need to continue rowing for fitness and fun.  The cost of the Learn to Row classes is $85 per person.

See the calendar or registration form below for class dates.

Masters are rowers ages 27 and older.  Some of our master rowers row for fitness while other enjoy training for races.  The DRC has a very active group of master rowers that enjoy traveling to local regattas and also competing in the National and World Master races.  These races are all age handicapped so rowers of all ages can compete.  The DRC has most of its master rowers in the 40 - 60 year old age categories. 

This is a great sport for those that can no longer run and need a "non-impact" exercise.

This group is for people 19 through 26 years old.  It includes college rowers.

The DRC is trying to increase this group.  We welcome this group of rowers into our learn to row classes, our fitness rowing and racing groups.
