Reimagine Your Winter Season!
Shake up your winter training at Union College’s state-of-the-art rowing tank! Whether you’re learning to row or looking to fine-tune your technique, our hands-on coaching offers the perfect opportunity to break up erg season, focus on the details, and head into spring rowing sharper and faster.
Working in a controlled environment, you can focus entirely on your stroke without worrying about weather or water conditions. With small groups of up to four athletes, you’ll receive individualized, real-time coaching to help you understand your technique, feel the water, and build better habits.

Our rowing tank mini clinics at Union College offer 2 hours of hands-on coaching in a small group of up to 4 athletes, giving you the perfect mix of individualized feedback, focused technical work, and shared learning.
Each session is structured to help you understand your stroke, put new skills into practice, and leave with actionable takeaways for your training. See below for an outline of our agenda:

Where are the mini clinics held?
All sessions take place at Alumni Gym at Union College in Schenectady, NY. Detailed parking and entry instructions will be sent before your session.
What should I wear and bring?
Dress in layers! The room may start out chilly, but it warms up quickly once we get moving. Bring a water bottle and athletic shoes. The foot stretchers feel similar to those on a standard erg, so your usual training shoes will work well.
Can I row sweep or sculling?
Either! We default to sculling, but we're happy to accommodate sweep when possible. Just note your preference on the intake form or message us directly. Group coordination helps us organize each session, but mixed sweep and sculling sessions are possible.
Can I register with a group of friends?
Absolutely! If you fill the tank with all 4 seats, every participant receives a $25 discount. Gather your crew and make a day of it!
What if all the time slots I want are full?
Don't worry! Send us a message, and we'll do our best to accommodate you or open an additional spot when possible.
