2026 Summer Masters (Adult)

Cortlandt Rowing (CCRA) Summer Adult/Masters Programs

Whether you have never picked up an oar, or rowed in high school or college, we welcome all masters (adults ages 18 and up) into the Summer Masters Program.

In addition to on-water instruction, both summer masters programs include the following:

• Row2Music sessions (drop-in, indoor erg program, Mondays, 6:45-8:00pm)
• Independent erging/weight training at our indoor location
  • All summer masters will have access to our indoor facility (ergs and weight equipment), arranged on participant basis
• Independent Zoom erg sessions with a buddy
  • All summer masters will have access to the CCRA Masters Zoom meeting ID, so they can erg remotely with their CCRA buddies at their convenience (for those who have an erg at home).

Safety / Health

• Swim test requirements: Swim 50 meters, tread water for 10 minutes, put on a PFD (lifejacket) while treading water. This is for your safety.
  • New masters must pass this test in their first season.
  • Current masters must pass this test within the last 12 months.
  • Summer season swim test date/location is TBA.
• All Masters must abide by CCRA Safety requirements, and watch the US Rowing Safety video every year before attending the summer session. See the Safety Requirements page.
