Join for the sport, stay for the people. Except the sport is so great you'd stay anyway. I joined having never rowed, and now I can't get enough. Knowledgeable and considerate coaches, who work with your gifts and challenges. The members are all caring welcoming people who love the opportunity to share their sport with novices and those returning to rowing. The Masters program is open for ages 20's to 80's, all working together. Row, make friends. Row, with friends. read more

I'm deeply disappointed in Casitas Rowing. Our generation of teens are navigating many crises and they desperately need their community to support them, and be on their side. They need youth based businesses like Casitas Rowing to be truly inclusive not just with words typed into their mission statement. They need actions and policies that proudly support diversity and inclusivity. Casitas Rowing fails to do this even after the discriminatory policy was brought to their attention. They not only failed my daughter, they fail to show support for many teens that need and deserve a safe and accepting space to thrive. I hope that teen minorities and their allies steer clear and find other safe and supportive avenues. read more

My two kids have rowed for Casitas since middle school. They have learned so much and grown as people with the club; it has been a life-changing experience for them. I especially appreciate that the coaches worked very hard to keep the kids engaged and active during Covid, including doing Zoom workouts and lending erg machines to team members, then finding ways to get back to the lake in a fun and safe way. I recently joined the adult team and am so excited to learn the sport that have brought my kids such joy. Highly recommend. read more

I rowed here for the fall semester. Bailey was a good varsity coach and i made some new friends. but after starting, Wend Gillet, the executive director said i can't room with my teammates who are also girls. her reason is that it's because i'm transfemine. Wendy is a horrible person who only cares about herself and making money, she also says that the rooming rule "works for everyone" saying this completely erases me and other transgender people. If you were considering rowing here, please be an ally and don't support transphobia. read more

What a great sport for young people. It gets them out on the lake in the fresh air and sunshine and keeps them active. It gives them a purpose. My niece is on the team and she just loves it. Amazing coaches. Please help support this great sports community. Donations can be made to Casitas rowing at casitas lake. read more

Some friends and I joined Casitas Rowing for their "camp and row" event and we had a fabulous time. This team is extremely welcoming and enthusiastic. The event was organized exceptionally well and we had a great time on and off the water at their beautiful location. Thank you! read more

Casitas Rowing is an amazing club that serves members of all ages; middle school, high school, and adults. I first discovered my inner mermaid when I signed up 2 years ago. Going from an 8-5 desk job, rowing has helped me regain my health as well as meeting fun and fantastic people. This is a physical and mental fitness program that keeps getting better with time and practice. If you have children, please consider enrolling them in this program. There are scholarships to be had for rowers and coxswains. I highly recommend this sport to everyone! read more

Beautiful place to row. Loads of boats for the kids. Not so sure of the coaching staff and management. Not inclusive. Questionable morals. Really not interested in the development of the whole child. Tried our two girls here. They love to row and the fun was taken out quickly even though they were doing really well. Steer clear. read more
