Why join Sarasota Crew?



       
  • Access to the BEST Rowing Site on the West Coast of Florida

    •    
  • Varsity/Novice headed by renowned Harvard Coxswain and former MIT coach Tom Tiffany

    •    
  • A winning tradition fostering several State and Regional championships.  

    •    
  • Offering BOTH Sculling (two Oars) and Sweep (one Oar) opportunities.

    •    
  • Regattas are the fun part! Our full time Novice and Varsity teams travel all over Florida and the eastern seaboard during the school year. 

    •    
  • We also offer a 2 day-a-week middle school program throughout the school year.

    •    
  • A great physical workout.  If you row during high school, you will be in the "Buff" and in the best shape of your life.

    •    
  • Lots of new friends. Rowers from 8 different high schools and 5 middle schools.

    •    
  • Learn a new sport. Many new to rowing have not excelled in other sports.

    •    
  • Level playing field.  Rowers have not been coached by a parent since they were young to be the "star".

    •    
  • Great for your college resume.  Colleges acknowledge you have good organizational skills, if you "do crew full time" and still get good grades.

    •    
  • College Scholarship potential for girls.

    •    
  • A lifelong sport. You can row the rest of your life.
