CAN I PARTICIPATE IN BRONX CREW IF I PLAY OTHER SPORTS?
Absolutely. Many of our rowers play other sports during the school year including football, basketball, baseball, etc. Bronx Crew is a summer program.
HOW MUCH DOES THE PROGRAM COST?
The program is free for the members of the team and their families, thanks to our generous supporters and partners without whom Bronx Crew would not exist.

WHAT IF I CAN’T SWIM?
