Stay active this winter with Central Connecticut Rowing’s Virtual Rowing Fitness Classes! Whether you’re an experienced rower or new to the sport, join us for hour-long, rowing-focused workouts that combine cardio, technique, stretching, and core and strength exercises. A rowing machine is recommended, but other cardio equipment can be used. Build fitness, improve your rowing, and stay connected with others as we prepare for another season on the river!
About Us
Central Connecticut Rowing (CCR) is a nonprofit rowing club based in Middletown, Connecticut. Our mission is to promote the sport of rowing and grow a diverse, inclusive rowing community across Middletown and the state.
We offer programs on the scenic Connecticut River, launching from the John K. Smith Boathouse in Middletown. All programs are run in partnership with the Middletown Recreation Department and are open to participants ages 13 and up. Some programs require prior experience.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced rower, we offer opportunities for both recreational and competitive rowing. Participants train and race in four- and eight-person rowing shells.
Coxswains Wanted!
We’re always looking for coxswains to steer the boat and guide the crew. Experienced coxswains are welcome, and we’re happy to train newcomers!
