Kali Brown and Bob Van Twyver, our two new terrific coaches will be leading our programs. Masters and Junior rowers report extremely positive experiences with Kali and Bob. This is the summer to take advantage of all that Megunticook Rowing has to offer.

Here are the program levels:

Learn to Row

Megunticook Rowing’s Learn to Row (LTR) program takes you through a four-class learning experience designed to teach the basics of rowing on the water. This program is open to anyone, 12 years old and up, and no rowing experience is required!

LTR sessions will primarily introduce the sculling style of rowing, where each rower has two oars, one in each hand. LTR includes one land (to practice rowing movement on rowing machines) and three on the water sessions where you will learn:

Proper rowing technique
Equipment Handling
Safety procedures
Rowing Terminology

Once you complete the Learn to Row program you can become a member of Megunticook Rowing for the discounted rate of $50 for summer 2025 on the water.
