Become a MRC Coxswain
Cox'ns not only direct and steer racing boats powered with as many as 8 rowers, but share an exciting ride when the crew clicks together under their guidance. MRC offers opportunities to train and compete with a fun group of oxygen-loving people, on the water and off during the racing season May-Oct, as well as tough, structured winter workouts. Dedicated coxswains receive a free club membership.
Boat Christening
Mendota Rowing Club will be having a Christening ceremony this Saturday June 20, 2009 at 8am to officially name the five brand new shells. The shells and a new trailer are replacements for those lost when Mendota's trailer, loaded with boats bound for a competition in Rockford, Illinois, lost control and overturned on Madison's beltline highway in October 2008.
Learn to Row
One of the most rewarding ways to enjoy Madison is on the water. A quiet evening spent pulling an oar through Lake Mendota in synch with a group of friends can bring a smile to your face, sweat to your forehead, and endorphins to your whole body. Register now for one of our Learn to Row classes in May, June, July or August.
