Gig Rowing
For an alternative to crew rowing, CCRC offers gig rowing! This style of rowing is appropriate for all ages and fitness levels, and is more recreational than competitive. Gig boats are wide, stable and have fixed seats; you’ll be on the water at sunrise or sunset, rowing in rhythm with a crew of 6, and getting a low-impact workout. Gig rowing gives you similar physical benefits as sweep and scull rowing, and is a great way to meet other enthusiasts while rowing on the beautiful Ashley River.
No experience is necessary! Gig rowing does not require completion of the CCRC Learn to Row program; we’ll teach you from the boat!
