Covid considerations aside, I'm looking for insight in the various masters rowing programs available on the Charles? After my military retirement I'm planning a move to the area for a year or two to focus on rowing as I've always wanted to row in the Head of the Charles. I'm no superstar, but rowed sweep in college and picked up sculling just this past summer. My limited internet research highlighted Community Rowing and Riverside Boat Club. Here are some things of importance:
-Ease of rowing as much as possible, ideally everyday
-Barriers to club entry, how hard is it to join?
-Once joined, difficulty of getting an opportunity to row in the HOCR? Willing to row in any boat, sweep or scull.
-Location - I plan on living near the boathouse...for this reason Riverside has appeal but I don't know anything about the area near Community Rowing

Also open to other clubs that might be a good option. I'm reasonably fit, technique could use some polishing, and I do have experience in both head races and 2ks in sweep boats. I'll be dependable and will be able to make practice everyday since I'll have no competing commitments. Planning to move get to the early in early 2022. Hoping to hear some insight, thanks!
