Member Rowing
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Popular Program for Members
Who can sign up for rowing sessions at Lowell's Boat Shop?Rowing is a Member Benefit at all levels of membership. Just as with other programs, there is a fee involved. There is limited space, and so weekly registration is necessary, as we found it hard in the past to accommodate drop-in rowers.
How do I register for rowing sessions?Our Programs Director, Dorothy Antczak, posts new rowing sessions on this page two days before they’re scheduled. Generally, there will be weekly rows on Wednesdays and Sundays.
What happens when there is bad weather?Dorothy will use the email address you provide when you sign up for your rowing session to get in touch if there are any changes due to weather.
What is special about Women on the Water?Women on the Water happens on Wednesdays from 6-8 p.m.; June 3–Sept 30 (weather and schedule permitting), $15 per row. One must register in time for the Wednesday of the week you hope to participate.
May I choose a particular boat or who my rowing partner is?Each person needs to register, but yes, it’s possible to let Dorothy know that you’d like to team up with an(other) registrant(s) in particular or if you prefer to join a larger team rowing the Surf Dory. We’ll do our best.
Email Dorothy if you are interested in coming for a one-time, $20 trial row. These spots are very limited, but we’d like for everyone to try it out to see if they like it.
