This 1.5 hr class is a winter training option for experienced rowers, those looking to train at a higher intensity, or anyone who may be interested in competing in the future.

Coached tank sessions will focus on teaching athletes how their stroke moves the boat more efficiently and faster. Competitive Winter Training requires a minimum of two days per week commitment.
