Rowing With Heart...

Our focus on promoting rowing for all includes outreach that puts oars and opportunity in the hands of people who otherwise would not experience the sport we’re so passionate about.

White Rock Rowing is part of White Rock Boathouse, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization comprised of one of the country’s largest boathouses, a historic 1930s-era boat slip and The Filter Building, a popular event venue. Together, the facilities comprise an active rowing hub on White Rock Lake, where doors are open to everyone, from first-timers to seasoned masters.

About levels

All members start off certified to row Level 1 boats. For safety and confidence reasons, you should be able to do the following to know that you  have mastered your current level, before moving up to the next level boat.

  1. Row a minimum of 40 miles in your current level boat.
  2. Unassisted in deep water, flip, right, bail and row away in your current level boat.
  3. Row full slide with the blades square and off the water on the recovery (no feather) for twenty strokes.
  4. Row backward 100 meters, fixed seat and full slide.
  5. Smoothly execute a 360 degree river turn—fixed seat, boat stationary, backing and filling, reversing opposite blades on pull and push.

Repeat the above to move up another level.

When you are ready to move up a level, contact the President, the Boathouse Captain, or the Membership Coordinator. They will check your hours in the logbook and will observe the balance of your requirements.
