We’re excited to welcome the community to a National Learn to Row Day open house on Saturday, June 6. Please come to our boat yard at Indian Mound Park in Englewood any time between 7:30 and 10am. Wear shorts, and shoes that can get wet. We’ll show you the basics of safety, particularly how to board and exit the boat. We’ll also put you on an erg (rowing machine) so you can try the basics of the rowing stroke on dry land. Then four visitors will board an eight-person boat with four club members plus a cox and go out for a 20-minute row on Lemon Bay. The whole experience will last a little less than an hour. If you find you love it, you can sign up for our two-week rowing class to begin on Saturday, June 13. But you’re welcome to come and give it a try with no expectation of continuing.
