This team has a history of excellence including HOCR wins in 2018 (club special) and 2019, a SDCC win in 2019, two podium finishes at Club Nats 2019, and multiple wins at local regattas from 2018-2023. Our year-round members are also successful in their careers across DC in both public and private sectors. So what does that mean for you?
In addition to our regatta schedule, we will be participating in a mentorship matching program to match interested summer athletes with a year-round member to talk career and life goals, and how you can still fit rowing into your postgrad life! We also hope to organize networking events with the broader PBC membership to maximize access to mentorship and networking opportunities for our summer athletes.
We will be taking up to 16 rowers and 2 coxswains from June through August. You must be at least 18 years old and actively rowing with your collegiate program. There are no erg minimums, however your times will impact your selection depending on the competitiveness of the other applicants. We will accept both lightweights and open weights. For the lighties, it is up to you if you want to race light or open through the summer, we will not force you to cut weight if your body needs a break.
Our practice schedule is M-F from 5:20 to 7AM and Saturdays from 6:45 to 8:45 AM. If you are interested in racing, you must be present for at least 2 weeks before the regatta in which you are looking to race. However, you are not obligated to race in every race for which you are eligible. While the team covers the cost of all entry fees, travel to and from regattas and any lodging is at the cost of the athlete.
Applications are due no later than 1159 Friday, 26 April. We will announce our final summer roster on 01 May!
