Affiliated Clubs

Instruction on rowing, focused on skill development and race preparation, is offered in classes year-round. These classes are coach-led and organized, so class size is purposely limited to allow greater athlete/coach engagement.

Sculling Classes 1-4

  • Classes are organized by skill level: Sculling 1, Sculling 2, and Sculling 3. PRC will soon add a Sculling 4 class to focus solely on teaching preparation for competition.

  • The higher the class number, the more advanced the coaching provided to improve all aspects of the rowing stroke.

  • Instruction is individualized to allow for 1:1 interaction with rowers, allowing customized athlete development.

  • Classes are available to all members; members pay an additional fee to join a class.

  •   Classes meet on average three times per week between April and September.

Three independent adult teams are housed at the Pocock Rowing Club, with programming focused on older adults. Members of these teams are full-time members of the PRC and self-manage their unique programs.
