2012 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 season of rowing recommended who are looking to take
it to the next level.
New in 2011:
We are hoping to allow more participation in 2011 by offering two sessions.
We welcome individuals who would like to participate in both sessions. We
have had an increasing number of individuals who were only available for a
portion of past years summer seasons so our hope is that we will receive full
participation during the shorter sessions.
The first session will plan to race at the Independence Day Regatta in Philadelphia, PA on June 29-July 2, 2012. The second session will travel again to Philadelphia for the Philidelphia Youth Regatta that takes place Saturday, July 14.
Competitive Sweep Racing:
Emphasis is on producing the fastest racing lineups possible.
The program will look to break individuals into boats that will help them
improve as rowers and receive as much water time and quality coaching as possible.
The feedback we have received from past participants is that it continues
to be an experience they wouldn't trade for anything. Summer rowing in Pittsburgh
is unmatched! Although no cuts will be made, racing boats will be determined
by
participant commitment and ability.
