LEARN TO ROW THIS SUMMER

From "I’ve never done this" to "Watch me." 🚣‍♀️✨
This summer, we’re trading the sidelines for the water. Our Learn to Row program is designed specifically for girls ages 12–16 who are ready to discover what they’re truly capable of.
Whether you’re looking for a new challenge or the "sweet spot" sport before starting high school, CIR is where it starts.
No experience? No problem. We provide the elite coaching, the specialized equipment, and the best community to get you moving fast.

🗓 2026 Sessions start June 15th!
