Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Call (215) 769-9030 and ask how a new person joins as a social rower, what the dues are, and whether the club offers a learn-to-row option..
What to expect
The club's site describes members who row socially or race on the Schuylkill, and a heated third floor erg and weight room with locker and shower rooms. It does not say how a first visit works, what it costs, or whether a beginner can try a boat, so ask first.
Tips for your first visit
- Call before you come, because the site lists no opening hours.
- Ask whether you can see the erg and weight room, which is on the third floor.
Newcomer welcome
Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: The club is open to anyone interested, but the site lists no join steps, dues or learn-to-row program, so the way in is unclear..
