JUNIOR COMPETITIVE ROWING "Real Athletes Row"
Since 2004 Jack London Aquatic Center has been making the sport of rowing (also called "Crew") accessible to high school students from all over the East Bay.
We
are dedicated to helping young people learn and appreciate the art of rowing
and sculling while competing at the top level of competition.
The athletes from Freshmen to Senior years will be
taught top level rowing within a safe and fun environment, ensuring they
develop their rowing skills to the optimum level, while developing an
appreciation of what it is to be competitive. While our overarching goal is to prepare the rowers for the
competitive season and to strive to be the best, the top priority of the
program is to provide an opportunity for athletes to learn the value of mastering
new skills, the virtues of teamwork and the thrill of racing. We also look to have every athlete be
noticed by the top colleges in the country by their senior year.

MIDDLE SCHOOL ROWING
"There is nothing-absolutely nothing-half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats." Wind in the Willows
Our newly-established Middle School Rowing Program is an extension of the vision we have for our Junior competitive Program. We provide young athletes from ages 12-14 the opportunity to learn the
basics of rowing. While our overarching goal is to prepare the rowers for possible
future participation in competitive rowing programs, the top priority of the
Middle School Program is to provide an environment where kids can learn the value
of mastering new skills, the virtues of teamwork, the fun of rowing and even the
thrill of racing.
