Rochester Rowing ClubHow much does it cost?
All active members of the club pay $90 per quarter in dues. This covers all coaching, equipment use and repairs, gas for the coach-boats and other day-to-day expenses.
For those that choose to join the competitive team (which includes all junior members), there are some additional costs.
Rowers are charged individually for each regatta. Depending on the location of the race, cost can vary from $20 to about $150. For example, a one-day race in Minneapolis is cheaper than a weekend-long race in Cincinnati. This cost covers transportation, food, lodging, transporting the boats and race entry fees.
Rowers must wear an athletic uniform during the races. The uniforms do not change from year to year, so this is a one-time charge and varies depending on the number of new members. The club does not make any money from the uniforms as they are purchased directly from the manufacturer.
The RRC is also willing to accommodate rowers who may not be able to pay the full amount. Our goal is to have as many people rowing as possible, not to gain a profit. We have subsidized rowers in the past and are always willing to make arrangements.
