2009 Competitive Sweep
Summer Rowing Program
Three Rivers Junior Rowing offers year-round programs. For
information about registering for rowing programs offered
during the school year, please proceed to TRJR.
The Competitive Sweep Summer Rowing Program is offered for
high school students (including those that just graduated) with
at least one year of rowing recommended who are looking to take
it to the next level.
Competitive Sweep Racing:
Please view the Boys Flyer or the Girls Flyer
Emphasis is on producing the fastest racing lineups possible.
Significant amount of time is spent training and seat racing. Participants
commit to the full five week, rigorous regimen
and will compete at several exciting summer regattas. Although
no cuts will be made, racing boats will be determined by
participant commitment and ability.
