Membership

Membership in the Rondout Rowing Club means enjoying the exercise, the beautiful scenery, and having fun!  To become a member, you must:

• Be at least 12 years of age
• Pay dues of $120 per year unless an exception is granted (e.g., students or others who cannot afford the dues; coaches; or those who make financial or payment-in-kind contributions other than dues)
• Discounted family and youth memberships are available
• Commit to a minimum of 12 hours volunteer time per year. 

Members who row require:

• Proof that the member can tread water for 15 minutes and swim a distance of 100 feet
• Viewing of a US Rowing video about rowing safety
• A minimal rowing capability, which may be obtained by attending Learn-to-Row sessions
• A written sign-off from a Club coach to the effect that the rower has sufficient (if minimal) capability to row and familiarity with the Club’s safety rules
