A Family Membership provides a family of 2+ athletes to participate in our Programs (for Juniors, members get pro-rated prices on Programs as well), use Club Equipment that you can reserve (adults), represent Nashville Rowing at races, have one vote for your family in Annual Board of Director Elections, have access to pertinent club information, and be a part of our growing family! 

A Student Member has the ability to row for any of our Adult Programs and reserve Club Equipment as long as they are an actively enrolled student in a school for higher education. This membership class does have the right to vote in Elections, and is a much-needed voice in our family!
