Adult Competitive
The morning competitive program is designed for experienced who want to train hard and row competitively. The primary focus is currently on sculling in quads and doubles; however, participants will continue training in sweep rowing at the discretion of the coach. Rowers will compete in select regional regattas. For 2010, the training focus will be on preparing for the FISA World Rowing Masters Regatta in St. Catharines, Ontario, in September.

Regattas & Virtual Racing Account
The competitive program typically attends several local and regional regattas each year. A schedule of upcoming regattas will be posted when available. Virtual Racing Accounts (VRAs) are used to manage regatta fees. Each rower's VRA should be brought up to $175 before the start of each season. As you participate in races, Albany Rowing Center will deduct the "actual cost" of attending the regatta from your VRA. "Actual costs" are the cumulative cost of:
- Entry Fees
- Gas
- Tolls
- Coach's costs
Divided by:
- Number of racers participating in that regatta.
