Join Simmons Crew Head Coach Nikolay Kurmakov and Simmons Novice Coach Naomi Walker for a great introduction to our nationally ranked Division III Varsity rowing program. Find out what rowing at Simmons is all about!
Simmons Crew offers this fall clinic for all incoming freshmen that are interested in rowing. Clinic rowers may move into the dorms several days early, will meet their coaches and varsity teammates and learn to row on the beautiful Charles River from our program’s home at Riverside Boat Club.
Take advantage of a great opportunity to try a new sport, whether or not you rowed or played sports in high school! Our team members come from diverse athletic backgrounds, and have become competitive athletes as members of Simmons Crew.
Not physically athletic, but love to compete? If you are 5’4” or below and weigh 115 pounds or less, you could be a fantastic coxswain—an integral member of the crew, responsible for steering, motivation and race plan execution.
If you are unable to attend the Crew Clinic but want to row and compete in fall 2011, please contact Coach Naomi Walker for information.
