Why row?

Rowing is a calming sport, especially in the morning when the water is tranquil and the setting on the river is peaceful.

Rowing is an excellent form of exercise, not only because it is good for your health, but also because it can be done solo or in a group to build teamwork.

Spending time on the water is relaxing and motivating, and once you learn the proper technique it can offer a tremendous amount of health benefits. Rowing offers a full-body exercise.

This is the perfect opportunity for youth to determine whether they want to try rowing for their high school, giving them a chance to enjoy all the benefits this great sport has to offer.
