🚣‍♀️ Youth vs. Masters: 1K Showdown Recap! 🚣‍♂️
What a day! Last week's Youth vs. Masters 1K Race was everything we love about rowing—friendly competition, great community, and a whole lot of fun. The energy was high, the strokes were strong, and the support on and off the water made it a day to remember.

A huge THANK YOU to Coach Skye and our amazing youth team for organizing the event and bringing everyone together. Your effort and spirit are what make our club so special.

From the intense sprints to the high-fives at the finish line, it was a perfect way to celebrate the season. 🌟

Excited to race again after summer practice just in time for regatta season —rest up, recharge, and get ready for a fun rematch!

Rowing really is a masterclass in teamwork, trust, and perseverance. It is perpetually humbling as we learn this tenchincal sport but so rewarding when the crew comes together, you're flying across the water and at the end of "10 strokes for power" you can "Let it Run" and the boat glides quietly in perfect balance 🤌

Amazing practice today and special thanks to Marley for doing double duty as both cox and bow seat! Thank you, Marley, and Happiest of Birthdays to you today! Shout out to Tamra, Karen, Marley and Evan on a great practice.
