What age should I be?
Rowing in the USA is open to almost all ages. In Massachusetts, you have to be over 12 but there is no upper age limit. You need to be able to carry equipment to the water and get in and out of the rowing shell, but age is never a factor. Below, are the age categories:

  • 12-18 - Youth
  • 19-26 - Open
  • 27-99 - Masters (It's just an age category, not a skill assessment!)
