Capital Rowing Club created the Capital Adaptive Rowing Program (CARP) to introduce the sport of rowing, through its community-based rowing programs, to individuals with disabilities including spinal cord injuries, amputations, and visual and cognitive impairments.
Capital Adaptive practices year-round. Our spring through fall practices on the water are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6:30 to 8:00 pm and Saturday from 8 to 10 am and 10 am to 12 pm. In the winter, we train on land on the ergs (exact schedule varies each year).
Come row with us!

Meet One of Our Athletes, Joe Tezak:
Capital Adaptive works closely with US Rowing Freedom Rows, the United States Olympic Committee Paralympic Sport Program, and other local and national adaptive clubs to promote access to, knowledge of, and visibility and participation in adaptive rowing. Participants include civilians as well as active duty military and veterans with a variety of abilities. CARP is proud to train athletes on and off the water in order to experience the rehabilitative benefits of rowing.
