  • Coached Sessions

    Coached sessions provide on-the-water instruction from an experienced coach, including group skill-building drills and individual pointers.

    instruction is targeted towards either recreational or competitive rowing depending on participant skills and interests.

    Members can sign up for sessions though their iCrew account.

  • Sweep on Lake Leelanau

    Sweep Rowing

    NMRC rows sweep boats (plus some larger sculling boats) on South Lake Leelanau out of Solon Township Park. Our sweep rowing program is a fun environment where rowers of all levels work together to improve their skills throughout the season.

    Members can sign up for sessions though their iCrew account.

  • Single on Glen Lake

    Sculling

    NMRC’s sculling program on Glen Lake offers something for rowers of all skill levels. Scullers who have passed a self-rescue test and demonstrated confidence and skill in a shell may also take out boats without a coach. NMRC rows out of the Glen Lake Yacht Club.

    Members can sign up for sessions though their iCrew account.

  • Learn to Row

    Learn to Row and Intro to Sculling classes are an excellent way to get an introduction to the sport. These sessions cover the basics of technique, boat safety, boat terms, and commands and give attendees the opportunity to go out in a boat.

  • Winter Training

    Our winter training uses a combination of erg (rowing machine) work and weight work to help maintain and build fitness for the next rowing season.

    Members can sign up for sessions though their iCrew account.

  • Regattas

    Join the NMRC team at a local or regional regatta. It’s a great way to test your skills and meet rowers from other clubs.

  • Clinics

    Clinics provide an opportunity to learn in a small group session with coaches and may be geared to rowers with similar skill levels.
