Intermediate Novice Sweep (INR)

Overview

Capital’s INR program provides an additional level of knowledge and skill for novice rowers who have recently completed Capital’s Learn to Row program or a similar program elsewhere. The program is designed to allow novice rowers to gain experience in shells as rowers and coxswains with more experienced novices who may have graduated from a prior learn to row program. Capital Learn to Row graduates should generally expect to stay in the INR program one year (two on-the-water seasons). In exceptional circumstances, coaches may encourage certain rowers that have developed the skills and confidence to row and cox at the next level to move on to a club program, in consultation with that program's coaches.

Objectives

• Improve basic rowing technique, building on novice class work

• Introduction to more advanced rowing concepts

• Improve strength and conditioning
