Potomac Boat Club Senior Masters Women’s Sweep (SMWS) is a competitive team of 40+ year-old experienced rowers. The team mission is to train hard and send the fastest age 40+ crews to competitive local, national and occasionally international regattas. This is not a learn-to-row program, nor is it ideal for those who haven’t rowed or competed since high school or college. Recent race experience and race-ready fitness will be helpful to prospective team members.
Racing team selections will be based on seat racing, erg scores, and coach’s discretion. We are on the water from mid-March through mid-November, followed by a post-Thanksgiving winter program featuring ergs, stairs, weights and calisthenics through early March.
