ABOUT HRRA ADULT PROGRAMS
HRRA is celebrating its 19th season of offering novice, intermediate, advanced sweep and sculling opportunities to adults!
HRRA's adult program philosophy avoids a "one size fits all" approach. Recognizing that rowing is a lifetime sport and that for any athlete to flourish and develop he or she needs to have consistent and plentiful feedback and a team environment that matches the individual goals of each rower.
HRRA's experienced coaches have taught hundreds of adult rowers and created medal - winning teams out of our enthusiastic and dedicated rowers. Continuous improvement is our goal, at all levels. Let us show you what we have to offer!
