The difference between Beginner and Intermediate is that intermediate rowers have demonstrated they are proficient with posture and balance in the rowing shells and demonstrate basic strength movements. Rowers will have had at least two seasons in “Beginner Rowing” either at the Saugatuck Rowing Club or another location.
Athletes in the intermediate program will continue to build upon the fundamentals and are focused on learning how to train with intention and consistency. Rowers will be presented with land strength training exercises, which will improve the individual’s mobility, leading them to train safely and effectively while rowing. Athletes will have a preview, in smaller workloads, of what they can expect on the competitive team. Not all athletes are ready to move up after one season of intermediate. The rower must demonstrate they have a strong work ethic, and sound body mechanics while rowing on the water. Winter Season is indoors where the athletes work on improving their skills and fitness on the erg and through body weight exercises.
