Intermediate Novice Sweep (INR)

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.

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. The program then allows rowers to move onto a club program as soon as they feel they have developed the skills and confidence to row at the next level.
