- Adult Rowing
Gainesville Area Rowing offers an Adult Rowing Program called GAR Masters. Masters are adults 22+ who row competitively and recreationally. Adults between 18-22 years of age are considered college rowers but are welcome to row with the GAR Masters team. Many people new to this sport do not realize that the word “master” refers only to the age of rower and is not an indication of ones rowing prowess.
Interested? No experience is necessary. We offer Learn to Row programs to help get you started with this new sport. Contact Kelly Bergdoll, Email: masters@gainesvillearearowing.com
