Reserve your spot for our next FREE Adult Learn to Row on Saturday, March 3, 2012.  Adults of any age are welcome.

Learn-to-row events are fun, easy and perfect for beginners. First you’ll receive instructions on land, then you will sit in the boat and work with the oar at the dock to gain a basic understanding of rowing movements.  Next you’ll row out onto the lake to feel what it will be like to be part of a champion crew!

Join us to try a new sport, meet great people, and enjoy beautiful Lake Casitas.  Sign up now by calling 805-642-2288 or emailing director@casitasrowing.org.

Our Masters programs cover a wide range of abilities and interests, with an overall goal of promoting fitness and health. 

Adult men and women can pursue rowing at the competitive level, or can simply row to learn a new sport and enjoy its numerous health benefits. Many club members find that rowing helps them achieve their fitness goals such as losing weight, gaining strength, and improving their cardiovascular system.

Launching at Newport Aquatic Center © 2011 Casitas Rowing

Casitas crews started their 2011-2012 racing season in November at Head of the Marina and the Newport Autumn Rowing Festival.

Between November and December, training moved from long, aerobic pieces to shorter sprints and fast starts. Adults and juniors competed at the Long Beach Christmas Regatta in December, racing in quick sprints of only 850 meters each.

Throughout January and February, rowers train on the water and on indoor rowing machines (ergometers) for 2000 meter time trials. Rowers optionally compete in the Erg Sprints in February, a qualifier for the annual C.R.A.S.H.-B indoor erg race in Boston that brings competitors from all over the world.

Junior crews are preparing for the next on-the-water races, CalCup I regatta Presidents’ Day weekend and CalCup II in March. In April, newer rowers test their skills at the Novice Sculling Regatta in San Diego, and select boats participate in the Long Beach Invitational April 21-22. Junior racing culminates with the USRowing SW Regional Junior Championships in May at Lake Natoma, near Sacramento.

Upcoming regattas for the Masters include the Spring Regatta March 18 in Long Beach and the 2,000-meter event for eights only, the San Diego Crew Classic, March 30-April 1. The adult team continues training throughout June for their own regional championships, the USRowing SW Regional Masters Championships in Oakland July 8.
