The Merrimac River Rowing Association (MRRA) will be ON THE WATER starting in April. We have Learn To Row programs starting in June with sign-ups happening now.
- Learn To Row - SCULLING: Meets on Tues and Thurs from 6:30 to 8:30pm, with two Saturday classes. No experience necessary. Sculling is your best option for rowing by yourself in a single or with others in small groups. Each rower in a sculling boat holds two oars. >> More Information
- Learn To Row - SWEEP: Monday and Wednesday, June and July (twelve sessions over six consecutive weeks). No experience necessary. This is team-oriented rowing in sweep boats that seat four or eight rowers with one oar each. >> More Information
- Masters Sweep: Monday and Wednesday evenings starting in mid-May, 6pm - 8pm. Some prior sweep experience (high school, collegiate, or masters) is expected. >> More Information
- Open Sweep: TBD. If there is sufficient interest, MRRA typically supports an Open Sweep team of post-collegiate rowers who get together two or three times per week with coached or self-directed practices. There is usally an intent to race in at least a few regional regattas during the summer and fall rowing seasons. >> More Information

Rowing with the MRRA
Each year the MRRA conducts Learn-to-Row programs to teach the sport of rowing to individuals with no prior sweep rowing or sculling experience. We accept adults over age 18 who are physically fit enough to try the sport and are interested in learning to row for Fitness, Fun or even Competition. If this is a goal for you, then we cordially invite you to apply for one or more of our Learn-to-Row Programs. Visit our Programs page for more information.
We hope to see you on National Learn To Row Day!
No prior registration is required, but if you have any questions, please write to
