Each fall, during the first week of classes, the Bryn Mawr College rowing team recruits students for the Frosh/Novice crew. You do not need to have rowing experience to become a member. You do however need to have enthusiasm, dedication and a willingness to push and work very hard. Rowing is one of the few sports at Bryn Mawr College where you can learn the sport and compete at a very high level within your first year on the team.

Some members of the squad may be incoming freshman with previous rowing experience. Other members may be novice rowers ranging from freshman to seniors at Bryn Mawr College. Whether you are looking to enhance your skills as a rower or to try a completely new sport, we need hard working athletes to join our new and ambitious rowing program.

All interested candidates must try out for the rowing team by performing a 2000-meter erg piece during the second week of classes. During the first week of classes, the varsity rowers will teach all perspective rowers (from novice to experienced rowers who want some technical tips), the fundamentals of rowing and performing a 2000-meter erg test. The varsity members are ready and willing to assist you with rowing technique, questions you may have regarding training, time commitment, tryouts and rowing in general.
