We look forward to having you join as a club member! To join, please click on the application link below. It includes our waivers of liability, ORC code of conduct, and dues payment options. If you are not an experienced rower or sculler, we suggest starting with either a learn to row session or learn to scull package before filling out this application.

Your membership dues include full access to the club facilities, equipment, as well as voting privileges and regatta participation. We offer one class of membership – full member – with three categories.

  • Individual Member – An individual age 18 or older
  • Family Member – Relatives, all of whom are 18 or older
  • Collegiate Summer Member – An individual age 18 or older wishing to row during summer break between June and August

Rowers

After you submit your application, one of our volunteers will help match you with one of our sweep teams if you haven’t already found a group as a guest rower. You’ll need to pay for your sweep coaching fees in addition to membership dues.

ORC has a long history of highly competitive sweep rowing and has repeatedly earned gold, silver and bronze medal finishes at the Head of the Hooch, USRowing Masters Nationals, FISA Masters Worlds, as well as countless Florida and regional regattas. But we also embrace recreational rowing as a lifelong exercise for health and wellbeing.

For those wanting to join a particular sweep rowing team, either competitive or recreational, we can connect you with the boat captain or coach to schedule your first visit. Our team skill levels range from novice, intermediate to advanced.

Scullers

If you are a sculler, you will not need to pay additional fees to check out our sculling equipment. Visit our reservation system here.

Orlando Rowing Club Dragon Boat Club

If you are interested in an ORC Dragon Boat Club membership only, please refer to the Dragon Boat Club page for information on how to join. The form below is for rowers, scullers, and coxswains.

Coxswains

Want free membership to Orlando Rowing Club while sitting in one of the most important seats in the boat? Are you a smaller, lighter athlete with a big voice? If you excel at motivating others and anticipating what lies in the waters ahead, coxing may be for you. Orlando Rowing Club is always in search of experienced coxswains—so bring your leadership, team spirit and commitment to a crew who knows your role is crucial to bringing home the gold. We ask that you cox on a consistent basis for one of our sweep teams. You will be able to scull or row with another group.
