Recovery on Water always accepts new members.

No one on our team rowed previous to joining ROW. Everyone comes to our team as a beginner!

Before you can ROW, each new participant must:

1. Contact Sue Ann, our Membership Coordinator at 847.332.2519 or membership@recoveryonwater.org.

2. Before you get in a boat, we require that you:

a. Fill out a waiver (we will have one for you at your first indoor practice).

b. Come to three erg sessions, complete a swim test and fill out all forms.

c. Observe a water practice to see other ROWers rowing on the river.

PRACTICE SCHEDULE:

• 6 PM – 7:30 PM: Monday nights, Wednesday nights on the Chicago River at 2850 S. Eleanor.

• 7 PM- 8 PM :Tuesday nights, Thursday nights- indoor rowing at Rowfit Chicago, 1455 W. Hubbard.

We compete a few times a year, but it is not mandatory. Not everyone competes on our team-some women are more recreational rowers, but many choose to race as well. ROW is about getting fit, fighting back and having fun-no matter where you’re at in your recovery process.
