Go fast, train hard, have fun!
Portland Women's Rowing (PWR) welcomes experienced sweep rowers who are interested in training and racing. Our races take us from San Diego, to Boston, to Seattle, and beyond. PWR is currently recruiting experienced rowers and coxswains for 2008. Join us!
Do you have a competitive side looking for an outlet? Are you looking to for a way to include rowing in your post-collegiate life? Is it time to move on from your learn-to-row program? This is the place for you! Join us.
Membership Information
Membership in Portland Women's Rowing gets you access to year-round coached practices on the water, land workouts, and multiple racing opportunities during the Spring, Summer and Fall seasons. We are currently practicing on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Our current membership dues are $275 per year or $170 for six months (Jan-June/July-December). Coaching fees are assessed for each season during which a rower actively participates ($45 per month for Spring, Summer, Fall; Winter fees are reduced). Under-27 rowers may opt for a monthly installment membership option whichs allows payment on a monthly basis. Dues and fees are waived for coxswains.

Great! We'd like to row with you too. We welcome prospective members for guest rows anytime.

Prospective members are required to join us for (up to) three guest rows before deciding whether or not to join. Membership approval is contingent upon coach and board approval.
