The Marin Rowing Association has a variety of programs for adults that provide an opportunity to row regardless of your experience. Whether you are new to the sport of rowing or want to jump back in a boat. Specific programs are offered for beginners, recreational rowers and experienced rowers under the guidance of our expert coaches. We also offer opportunities for rowers of all levels to compete in regattas throughout the season.
A great way to see if rowing is a good fit for you is to take a private sculling lesson. Sculling lessons are offered throughout the year, and scheduled directly by our sculling coaches. Lessons are $75 per hour. You do not need to be a member to take lessons.
For more information about scheduling a sculling lesson please fill out the following form.
