MASTERS PROGRAM
MASTERS PROGRAM – all skill levels welcome
The Pensacola Rowing Club (PRC) supports the mission of building the sport of rowing in the Greater Pensacola area. Masters Program membership provides access to the boathouse and equipment to pursue rowing for recreation and competitive training. Whether you are returning to the sport after years away or picking up an oar for the first time, the PRC Masters Program offers opportunities to train, race, and connect within a welcoming community.

- Boats generally used are Quads (4x), Doubles (2x) and Single sculls (1x). Other boats are available for use.
- Coordinate other times to row with a qualified member.
- Novice rowers incorporate into boats with experienced rowers for safety and to gain experience.
- Rowers are responsible for their own safety and will abide by PRC and USRowing safety rules.
