Question

I'm a high shcooler and Im really not into any of the spring sports at my school and im really interested in rowing. Are there any recreational or any kind of rowing team i can go on that rows anywhere like Boston Harbor or anything. Im desperate!!!

Answer 1

Are you looking to row in college?  If so, BU has an excellent team the rows on the Charles River.  There's also MIT, BC, and Harvard, among others.

If you're looking to row as a high schooler, those same schools may sponsor recreational clubs (to help them recruit).  There are several club crews that call the Charles River home as well.  Unfortunately I don't know the names of any specific clubs, but you can try checking a website like www.row2k.com

Keep in mind that rowing is not just a spring sport.  I doubt even a club team will allow you to just walk on the team in the spring.  Most teams begin training novices in the fall, then move indoors for winter training, and return to the water for the spring season.  Crew is very intense and incredibly time consuming - just be aware of that.
