"We are a non profit sweep rowing club based in Middletown, CT. We offer rowing programs on the CT River. Programs are administered through Middletown Recreation. Programs for 13+, novice to experienced, recreational to competitive. Come join us!"


GENERAL INFORMATION  FOR ALL ON WATER CLASSES: Novice rowing classes are generally only offered in the summer months (June/July and sometimes August). It’s crucial to not miss the first few classes because safety and basics are covered. Experienced classes are offered from May through mid-October.

We often row in light rain, but clearly reschedule when there are high winds, downpour or lightning. Makeup days occur on an alternate evening or a weekend morning.

Wear tight-fitting shorts or leggings (loose clothing can get caught in seat tracks), sneakers or secure water shoes. A hat, sunscreen, sunglasses are recommended along with a reusable water bottle. Bring, or have in your car, a yoga mat and sneakers for after-row stretching.

*If you are unsure which is the best class for your skill level, please contact Central CT Rowing and we will help you. Info@centralctrowing.com

Free Learn to Row Day
Are you curious about how to row one of those long boats you see on the Connecticut River in Middletown? Are you considering joining Central Connecticut Rowing but not sure if you will like it? Want to get a feeling for what rowing is before committing to a class? This free event offers each participant a brief overview of rowing, a chance to learn a little technique on a rowing machine, see our boathouse and go out in an 8-person boat for a brief row on the river. Please register so we have an idea of how many to expect. Please wear stretchy shorts/leggings, tops that do not hang below hips, and sneakers. Baggy clothing can get caught in the seat rollers. Strongly suggest wearing sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses. Please bring your own reusable water bottle. We will have a key drop basket but leave other valuables home or in your car so they don't end up in the river!
