Taste of Rowing
This is a complementary event where you will learn more about rowing and ROCCREW.
Learn to Row
Cancer survivors, take the next step in your recovery journey with our Fall Indoor Learn to Row Program held at the Pittsford Indoor Rowing Center. Rowing is a low-impact, full-body workout that’s perfect for all fitness levels, and it’s a fantastic way to regain control of your health and wellness. Our Fall Indoor Program is explicitly designed to help rebuild strength, confidence, and community in a supportive, empowering environment. It’s open to all cancer survivors and supporters (those who don’t have cancer but support our mission). No experience is needed, as one of our certified coaches will teach you the basics of the rowing stroke on a rowing machine, and then you’ll get the feel of the water while rowing indoors at the Pittsford Rowing Center. You’ll then be ready to continue winter training and join us on the river this spring.

Novice Rowing
Experienced, synchronized rowers make rowing look easy and effortless, but they’ve logged many kilometers on the water. Once you’ve completed LTR, you’ll advance to novice. Here you’ll improve your skills, strength and stamina and begin to feel the true joy of rowing and the camaraderie it creates.
Advanced Rowing
Once you’ve completed about a year as a novice, you’ll move on to advanced rowing. Here you’ll regularly be in a boat with experienced rowers, and if you wish, compete in one or more regattas. You’ll understand the shared passion that is rowing.
“The team effort—the perfectly synchronized flow of muscle, oars, boat and water; the single, whole, unified, and beautiful symphony that a crew in motion becomes—is all that matters. Not the individuals, not the self.”
The Boys in the Boat, Daniel James Brown, 2013
And for all of our on-the-water programs, don’t worry if occasionally the weather doesn’t cooperate, we provide indoor workouts and yoga in their place
Winter Training
In Rochester, we’re fortunate to have the Pittsford Indoor Rowing Center (PIRC) available to us. This is a great way to learn to row, but also a way to maintain the improved fitness achieved on the Genesee. We also offer exercise and yoga classes at the GWC boathouse, as well as have several social events.
