The answers to frequently asked questions
We are an adult, member-driven, rowing program. This means we provide our members with the infrastructure (access to a world class rowing lake and high quality oars and boats) to pursue their rowing aspirations.
Team practices are early morning Saturday and Sunday. One or two evening practices are added in the summer. Our members also organize practices outside of these times, either for recreational outings or race practices.
About 40 % of our members race regularly in regional, national and international events.
Our members include both men and women.
Our youngest member is 22 and are oldest members are 80.
We have members from all over the US and all over the world.
We are a small club with around 50 members. However, we have the highest attendance average of any club we know with almost 50% of members regularly participating in even the coldest winter practice. The reason for this is that we are catering to experienced rowers who are addicted to rowing. Because we already have the great equipment, we do not have to inflate member numbers to generate cash flow.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE:
CHaOS only accepts experienced rowers as new members
CHaOS is primarily a sculling club. While we have sweep boats and sometimes sweep in practice and sweep at races, we cannot offer sweep rowing at every practice (unless you volunteer to toe steer a 4-). We help sweep rowers to improve their sculling. We offer a 5 evening program “Get wet => Relax! => Row fast” that makes sweep rowers comfortable and confident in a racing 1x
CHaOS does NOT offer learn to row
