Our athletes have many talents - and rowing is just one of them. 🚣‍♀️✨

These beautiful hands spend their evenings gliding across the Hudson River, building strength, friendship, and community with every stroke. The Hudson is one of Albany’s greatest treasures, and we’re grateful to call it our training ground.

Thank you, Mayor Dorcey Applyrs, for supporting a vibrant waterfront and opportunities for residents to connect with our river.

Albany, come see why so many people are falling in love with rowing and the beauty of the Hudson River!
