Masters Rowing - Adults
For adults who have previous experience rowing - whether you're looking for fun and fitness, to get outdoors, make new friends and join a community of like-minded people, or you're a former D1 athlete looking for competition, racing, and regattas, Watuppa Rowing Center offers programs for all.
And don't be intimidated - "Masters" is just industry jargon for "adults" in the rowing world. You can read more about international Masters Rowing here.
If you are new to rowing, please attend one of our Learn To Row (LTR) Sessions before joining the Masters program.

WRC Apparel:
Apparel can be purchased at the link below.
WRC encourages racing crews to determine which of the 3 available design motifs they would like to race in as a crew; then rowers can purchase matching apparel to suit themselves. Crews should wear all the same design, but can purchase whichever article they are most comfortable wearing in the agreed-upon design.
There are sleevless, short, & long sleeve tops; layering peices (sleevless & long-sleeve Spalsh Jackets); and the traditional rowing Unisuits (aka "Onsies", "All-In-Ones", "Zooties", "Unis") available in all three of WRC's custom designs. In addition, there are other peices such as fleece jackets, quarter-zips, sweatshirts & hoodies available in assorted correlating designs.
