Princeton National Rowing Association offers several opportunities for recreational rowing.
Row in the Barge on Mercer Lake
This is a low-key, fun way to get out on the water and enjoy beautiful Mercer Lake in West Windsor. The Barge will enable participants to take rowing strokes at their own pace on a stable platform. An experienced coach will be on the boat at all times. This program is great for active seniors, as well as being an introduction to rowing for anyone who would like to progress to the Learn to Row Program (see below). Class size is limited to 8 people.
We will offer Barge sessions in the Fall, Spring and Summer. There will be two sessions per week, one hour each, on Tuesday and Thursday from 9:30 to 10:30 am.
*Please note, this program will stay in the barge for all sessions. If you are interested in progressing to a rowing shell, please see the Learn to Row program offerings below.

Learn to Row is a prerequisite for joining the Competitive and/or Recreational Masters Program.
