Pegasus Rowing is one of the top junior rowing programs in the Philadelphia area, offering year-round training, experienced coaching, and a proven pathway for athletes to progress to competitive and collegiate rowing. Pegasus Rowing coaches are USRowing certified and experienced in developing athletes at all levels. Unlike seasonal programs, Pegasus provides consistent development opportunities that help athletes improve faster and perform at a higher level.

Beginners can learn to row with Pegasus Rowing’s Learn to Row programs based in King of Prussia, just outside Philadelphia. These programs are designed for athletes ages 12 and up with no prior experience.

You can register for a Pegasus Rowing Learn to Row program through our online registration page. Spots are limited for each session, so early registration is recommended. More information is located here.

No experience is required. Pegasus Rowing offers beginner-friendly Learn to Row camps where athletes start on the water from day one and build foundational skills in a supportive environment.

Most athletes begin rowing in middle school or high school. Pegasus Rowing programs are designed for athletes ages 12 and up.

Training frequency varies by season and experience level, with athletes typically practicing multiple times per week on the water and indoors.

Pegasus Rowing is based in King of Prussia and serves athletes from across the Philadelphia area, including the Main Line and surrounding suburbs.

Participation in regattas is entirely based on the assessment of the coaching staff.  If there are any concerns regarding the rower’s ability to complete the race safely, they will not be permitted to compete.  Otherwise, every effort will be made to ensure that rowers have the opportunity to race in at least one event at each regatta.  Coaches have more flexibility in the summer to achieve this as rowers are generally not limited to one race per regatta.  This enables more flexibility in putting together lineups (although higher entry costs).

Summer rowing is both more competitive and paradoxically more flexible than the Spring scholastic season.  Vacations, family events, camps and travel are all elements of the summer that may require rowers to prioritize certain regattas over others.  At the beginning of the season, rowers identify at least one priority race for which they will train rigorously.  They also identify any races for which they will not be available.  Using this formula, coaches are able to assemble lineups and arrange the training plan to help the rower meet his/her summer goals.

Rowers and parents are responsible for organizing team member transportation to and from practices.  Most commonly, parents or driving students work together to organize car pools.  The team travels to regattas in the same way.  Coaches organize for the transportation by trailer of the rowing shells and equipment.  Most races take place on the same Philadelphia based course as during the spring season which keeps driving to a minimum.
