Many hands make light work. The boats are out of winter storage, washed, rigged and ready to row!

NATIONAL RETURN TO ROWING DAY! There’s something special about getting back in a shell and feeling the boat move again.

On May 30, Squam Community Rowing (Holderness NH) will take part in National Return to Rowing Day, a nationwide effort to welcome former rowers back to the sport, whether you rowed last season or decades ago.

This session is geared toward experienced rowers interested in trying out Squam Community Rowing in a fun, low-pressure environment. Whether you rowed in college, at a club, in high school, or somewhere in between, this is a chance to reconnect with the water, the rhythm, and the rowing community.

National Return to Rowing Day encourages rowing organizations across the country to open their doors and make it easy for former rowers to find their way back to the boathouse.

Interested in joining us on May 30? Reach out to Squam Community Rowing at [email protected] for details.

SCR goes international! What a lovely reminder of summer from Klaus, a guest rower this summer from Germany. Hope to see you again soon Klaus.

Durch die USA zu reisen, mag heute ein Wagnis sein. Aber wir wollen uns ein eigenes Bild machen. Dazu gehört, mit Menschen zu sprechen. Beim Rudern wird nicht geredet. Aber man muss sich aufeinander einstellen.

Bittersweet day packing up the club boats for the winter, but we got to all be together for one final day. Thank you everyone!

Enjoyed a fantastic row this morning with Annette, Booker, and Kathy. We rowed from SLA to Holderness Beach under the Covered bridge and down the Squam River.

Today, our destination was Little Squam, with the hope of finding calmer water. Annette and I had a great row. Yvonne looked impressive as she trains for the New Hampshire Championships.

Sharpening our strokes!
Over five Wednesday mornings, led by coach John Lin, our scullers dug into 10 focused drills to refine blade work, sequencing, and power. By the final session, everyone was rowing smoother, stronger, and with more confidence. Watch for more Squam Community Rowing workshops!
