we love guests

We welcome experienced rowers new to our area, and visiting rowers from other programs, to join adult practices. Please contact us by email.

Information about our month-long Trial/Guest membership is shown on this page.

Our beautiful Lake Mendota is a wide, sometimes windy, sometimes busy, lake. If you wish to sit in any MRC boat you will need to provide a water safety credential (aka swim test, see details here). Trial/Guest members may use the Club's ergs and weights.
