Adaptive Rowing (CARP)

Capital Rowing Club created the Capital Adaptive Rowing Program (CARP) to introduce the sport of rowing, through its community-based rowing programs, to individuals with disabilities including spinal cord injuries, amputations, and visual and cognitive impairments.

Overview

Capital Adaptive works closely with the United States Olympic Committee Paralympic Sport Program and other local and national adaptive clubs to promote access to, knowledge of, and visibility and participation in adaptive rowing. CARP is proud to train athletes on and off the water in order to experience the rehabilitative benefits of rowing.

CARP rowers pay no season fee. Athletes can pay what they are able, but payment is not required to participate.
