Sculling Programs

Basic Sculling ($55)

Scullers registered for basic sculling may take out singles and doubles without a coach.  They must have passed the flip test under observation from a Capital coach, must show competence in boat handling, and must be confident on the water without a coach.  Equipment can be signed out when they are not in use during a coached program. Equipment availability is on a first-come, first-served basis.  Equipment cannot be reserved.

Scullers who want to take out equipment on their own, without a coach, must register and pay the basic sculling fee, even if they are registered for another sculling or sweep program. 

Intermediate Sculling Program ($130)

The Intermediate Sculling program helps competent scullers of varying degrees of experience improve their technique, conditioning, and confidence on the water. The program consists of   graduates of a novice class, experienced scullers, and recreational scullers.  This program accomodates different levels of skills and experience and rowing and fitness goals.  Practices are led by an experienced coach and held three times a week, Tuesday & Thursday evenings at 6:30pm, and Saturday mornings at 9:00 am.

Competitive Sculling Program ($180)

The Competitive Sculling program is designed for advanced scullers who want to focus on racing.

Novice Sculling Program

Capital offers novice sculling classes led by experienced coaches. Novice sessions are held throughout the rowing season. Classes are generally held twice a week and each session runs for six weeks. Each class consists of 6-8 novice scullers. At least the first three weeks of class will be spent working in doubles, learning technique and getting comfortable with handling two oars. Moving into singles will be based on the coach's discretion. Focus will be placed on safety, boat handling skills, and learning basic sculling technique.  Previous sweep rowing experience required to sign up.

Fill out the form to put your name on the list for the 2010 Novice Sculling season.
