Maritime Rowing Club’s High School Program has become a nationally recognized program, for its development of world-class rowers. In 2010, 30 rowers participated in the US Rowing Youth National regatta, winning three golds and a bronze medal. Several MRC rowers have gone on to win medals at the world championship level, and two were recently named to the US National Team.
At the same time, Maritime Rowing Club recognizes that not all rowers will become world champions, and the philosophy behind the program is to help each athlete develop his or her potential, and to develop good rowing skills and team fundamentals.
High school rowers participate in competitive regattas during the Fall and Spring seasons; during Winter Training they work out indoors at the Maritime fitness center in Norwalk, CT, during the week and at the Yale University indoor rowing tanks in New Haven on weekends. The summer program continues to reinforce skills learned during the year, as well as to introduce new rowers to the program. Summer rowers participate in Club Nationals and the Canadian Henley regattas.
At the beginning of each season, coaches will evaluate athletes and place them into appropriate team. Rowers come from high schools across Fairfield County.
Rowers are required to wear rowing spandex and sneakers to practice; Team unisuits are required at regattas.
