      <image:title>Gig - Gig Rowing</image:title>
      <image:caption>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!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Masters Rowing - Masters Rowing</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Masters program is geared toward experienced adult rowers and enthusiastic novices who have successfully completed the Masters Learn to Row program. Masters members practice regularly 3-4 days per week, year-round, focusing on teamwork, technique, and endurance. Rowers interested in competing have the opportunity to participate in regional regattas. Rowing as an adult offers a fantastic low-impact, full-body workout that engages up to 86% of muscles, building leg, core, back, and arm strength, boosting cardiovascular health, burning calories, improving posture, and reducing stress, all within about one hour.   Rowing with a club also promotes a social connection; currently the CCRC Masters program includes rowers from age 25 through 81. Masters have the opportunity to row 3-5 days per week at 6:45 am. If you’re a team-oriented, committed adult with rowing experience OR you’re new to rowing but you’ve completed our Learn to Row course, register with us here. Don’t have rowing experience?

      <image:title>Juniors Rowing - Juniors Rowing</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Juniors program is aimed at high school students looking to row competitively. Juniors meet 4-5 days per week to train on and off the water, focus on fitness, water safety, boat basics and rowing technique. The season runs February through November. Junior rowers also have the opportunity to compete in regional regattas. Demanding practices promote strong physical fitness, confidence, and mental toughness. A regular practice schedule builds time management skills, commitment to teammates, self-control and understanding that their effort directly impacts the team's success. Rowing’s physical challenges also develop cardiovascular health, muscular endurance, better sleep, and overall well-being. Rowing teaches teenagers crucial life skills. Discipline and accountability. Teamwork and social skills. Confidence and leadership. Unlike other team sports, rowing demands perfect synchronicity, focus, the whole boat moving as one unit. Every rower must be reliable for the boat to move, fostering deep interdependence. This reliance on teammates creates deep friendships and a strong sense of community, preparing them for success in academics and life. Our current youth crew consists of a co-ed team from Charleston-area high schools. Many colleges offer rowing scholarships, especially for women. There are approximately 90 NCAA Division I schools with rowing programs and another 50 Division III schools. Graduates from our Juniors program have continued rowing at the University of Pennsylvania, Clemson, Northwestern, NC State, University of Richmond, Rochester Institute of Technology, Marist, and Tufts.</image:caption>
