Foundations Program

SA Foundations program has one objective - maximize water time for those that are learning the basics of rowing.  This program meets 3 days a week and gets out on the water each day (weather permitting).  

This is a coed program and generally trains along side the competitive teams, exposing newer rowers to the dedication, technique, and accomplishments of the entire team.  We are all one team, and our Foundations Program is a critical component of what makes SA a Family.  

Our Foundations Program is for those who wish to learn the basics of both sweeping (1 oar) and sculling (2 oars), as well as overall conditioning and core strength training. Typically three types of athletes participate in this program:

  • Middle school athletes interested in learning how to row  in a competitive atmosphere.
  • Middle school athletes who love the sport and anxiously look forward to joining the novice squad when they are age-eligible and deemed ready by coaches. 

By improving fitness and flexibility, this introduction program is a great foundation for those interested in competitive crew in the future or in simply achieving and maintaining a higher level of athleticism.
